Seillans

Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning made their home in Seillans in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and the village keeps a sizeable collection of his work, including sculptures in the open air. Its steep medieval centre, open only on foot, rises to a castle and 13th-century church, looking over the plain between the southern Alps and the Esterel. Each August a classical, choral and jazz festival fills the church.
