Cipières
Cipières (French pronunciation: [sipjɛʁ]; Occitan: Cipieras) is a commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in southeastern France.
Cipieres is about 50 minutes drive from the French Riviera, and is an unspoilt medieval village of around 400 inhabitants. There are two restaurants, a pizzeria and a general store. Sheep are farmed on the surrounding mountain side and a farm sells lamb direct and also makes a renowned goats cheese. There is an annual free rock festival (Ciprock) as well as a homemade kart race through the narrow streets, attracting children as well as some more serious adults.
It enjoys a beautiful climate and has far reaching views across the valley of the Loup to the peak of Mount Cheiron, with the village of Gréolières in the foreground.
