Close to the Mercantour National Park, in the Haut Verdon valley and benefitting from a sunny climate for most of the year, at 1200 m altitude, Villars-Colmars is a small, pituresque village of 220 inhabitants whose greatest wish is to give their visitors the warmest welcome.

This little summer health resort, surrounded by its meadows, pines and larch trees, offers the tourist many walks ; Puy Forest, the summit of Denjuan, the little village of Chasse hidden away in the middle of the mountains, and the Moulière wood, are some of the superb panoramas to discover. Not forgetting, of course, the old village itself, built on a gentle slope, unveiling its ancient stone houses and harbouring sheltered fountains, washing bassins, old doors and vaulted passageways, and especially its famous sundial dating from 1699. a series of 9 wayside chapels, with one from the 19th century, completes the architectural heritage of this haven of peace, which is highly recommended for nature lovers, fishermen, walkers ad skiers.
