La Maison de Julie

This cute 18th-century B&B boasts just two country-style rooms and a petite gîte cottage. Each one is as cozy as it is traditional, with Provençal quilts and antique furnishings. Christian and Carole are welcoming hosts, full of ideas and advice on regional activities, from off-the-beaten-track bike rides to hearty local restaurants. Breakfast is an abundant affair, with croissants, yogurts, local honey, homemade jams, and seasonal fruit salads. La Maison de Julie’s location—2km (1.5 miles) outside of Entrevaux proper—means that guestrooms afford stunning views over the medieval town. Walking trails run from the hotel's front door into the wilderness beyond.
