Village perché



The village of Peillon, perched on a hilltop in the Paillon Valley, is known to have stairs instead of roads; it is dominated by its Église Saint-Sauveur (Saint Sauveur church), which was last restored in 1980. It is also home to the Chapelle Notre-Dame des Sept Douleurs (Notre Dame des Sept Douleurs chapel), which features 15th-century fresco paintings by Giovanni Canavesio.




Transport


The commune is served by Peillon-Sainte-Thècle station in the valley, on the Nice to Breil-sur-Roya SNCF railway.




Demographics



In French, the inhabitants are called Peillonnais (masculine) and Peillonnaises (feminine).
