Welcome to the Gîte du Cheiron!

Situated in a stunning setting just 40 minutes drive from Nice
International Airport
, the Gite du Cheiron offers comfortable
self-catering accommodation all year round.

The location of the valley is unique: only 45 kilometres from the Riviera beaches, and yet only a twenty minute drive from the local ski station! Furthermore, due to its setting, close to the warming sea breezes, and protected by the foothills of the Alps to the North and East, and the mountains of Provence to the West, the area enjoys a 'micro climate', assuring over 300 days of sunshine every year.

The location is renowned as one of the best paragliding sites in Europe, but the following activities are also available in the region:

Rock-climbing, hill-walking, canyoning, pot-holing, horse riding and pony trekking, hang-gliding, archery and all those pursuits associated with a landscape of such beauty (e.g. outdoor painting, photography or simply enjoying the views, glass in hand, from our South-facing terrace).
