Visit Levens with the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau
An ancient fortified medieval village perched on its rocky outcrop at an altitude of 600 metres, Levens can be visited by taking a few sloping streets lined with houses built in the local stone, passing under porches or dark covered passageways. Close to the village, the Grand Pré de Levens is a great place to relax, offering 13 hectares of greenery. Events are held here throughout the year, including the horse festival in July.
