An old fortified Mediaeval village perched on a rocky spur 600m above sea level, Levens can be visited by following the sloping streets lined with houses built in local stone, under porches and covered passageways.

Near the village, the Grand Pré de Levens, is a large open meadow, a privileged place for relaxation with its 13 hectares of greenery: events are scheduled there year round, including Fête du Ch in July.

Sights: The old gates of the feudal fortifications, the house of Marshal André Masséna, the birthplace of Nice's 1st French mayor François Malausséna; the Auditorium and the Galerie du Portal, where exhibitions are held; the Church of Saint Antonin, the Chapels of the Pénitents Noirs and the Pénitents Blancs; the swimming pool and the Grand Pré de Levens.

Opening times

From 03/01 to 31/12
Opening hours on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday between 9 am and 1 pm and between 2 pm and 5 pm.
Closed on Sunday.
