LOCATION

St Cézaire is one of the ancient perched villages for which Provence is famous, set high up on a mountain ledge above the Saigne river although from Grasse or St Vallier one is unaware of this. It's been a special place for human habitation since prehistoric times - and they knew then where the best places were to live! The village proper is spread out a bit more than the compact little villages so common in the south of France.

The St Cézaire grottos in the village are amazing and were discovered in 1890 by local farmer Léon Dozol while he was working his land. He first tried to fill in the annoying hole by throwing in rocks from his field. Mystified why that wasn't working, he investigated further, and discovered the beautiful caverns beneath. www.lesgrottesdesaintcezaire.com/ The caves are full of lovely formations, known to cavers as "pretties" and to techies as "speleothems", including draperies, stalactites (from the ceiling) and stalagmites (from the floor), many with a lovely rose color. The tour takes you down through the caverns, past the Salle des Draperies and the Chambre de la Fée, eventually to the Gouffre Béant at the bottom, where a cave river flows past.

A few minutes drive from the grottoes and you arrive in the village where it is easy to park. There are several cafes, bars and restaurants located around the 1720 church in the centre. There is also a green metal fountain built in 1860 to provide fresh drinking water all year round. The chateau was built in the 14th century and the Mairie is located in part of it now. The large lavoir (wash house) was constructed at the same time. Many of the houses in the old village date from the 15th and 16th centuries. While typical of the region, they are much taller than usual and the streets wider and straighter.

Social life in the village is good and locally is renowned for horseriding facilities.
