A hilltop village offering, on a clear day, an extraordinary panorama of Mont Agel, Gréolière, the Estéron and Moyen Var valleys and the first Alpine peaks. The history of the castle and the village of Ascros is closely linked to that of the Grimaldi barony which reigned over this place.

Small village where you can find something to eat. We recommend you stop at Will's Diner. Open only on weekends (check on Instagram), he has set up a food truck in his garden. Everything is homemade, and we enjoy it before or after Mont Vial, the choice is yours!
