Sainte-Agnès is a picturesque village located in the Alpes-Maritimes department in southeastern France. Nestled at an altitude of around 800 meters, it is often touted as the "highest coastal village in Europe" due to its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea. The village boasts stunning panoramic views, beautiful stone houses, and narrow, winding streets that reflect its medieval heritage. Sainte-Agnès is also home to the ruins of a 12th-century castle and a fort built by the Maginot Line to defend against potential invasions during World War II.
