magnificent point of view, very nice little village house for 4 people for rent at the foot of the very nice castle

Overlooking a beautiful and atypical village, where you have good legs to walk the streets and labyrinthine streets, the house that offers Bruno and Romain for rent, is just a wonderful little paradise. Arrival in the evening late, we had no problem finding the place and recovering the keys, thanks to the very precise explanations received previously. We appreciated the small attentions of reception and the comfort of the bed. But c awakening, when the shutters open, the magic has worked. In front of us a breathtaking landscape, green mountains and just above us the castle of the village under renovation, whose remains bear the weight of the rich and intense history of this ancient Italy returned to the land of France. br /> All the necessary comfort is on site, a functional kitchen, a shower room where water flows continuously and icing on the cake, outside, a terrace offers a friendly space where we can eat, sunbathe and rest, under the sun or the stars. Thank you very much for this stay where we were able to discover with joy, a welcoming village and enjoy an ideal location close to Nice, Monaco, the mountain and its many beautiful little villages, among other wonders.

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
