Coaraze is described as one of the "most beautiful villages" in Provence. After visiting it I would have to agree. To get to Coaraze from Vence you drive east on the A8 and exit, drive north then east and up a mountain. I just followed the GPS directions. Coaraze is easily recognized as it sits perched on a hilltop. You don't drive into Coaraze. You park outside and walk in. It has a huge wall surrounding the village that protected them from the marauding Muslims and other pirates of the Med. Coaraze has a lot of sundials. I photographed six and I know I missed some. The streets are narrow, winding, up, down, and tunnels everywhere. The village is surrounded by olive trees. We met a kind old gentleman I will just call "Frenchy" who allowed me to take his photo.
