About this audio guide
This guide to Valbonne, in the hills behind Cannes, starts with a puzzle underfoot: why a Provençal hill village has streets as straight as a ruler. It reaches back to a small, strict order of monks who settled the valley at the end of the twelfth century, and to the wars and plague that followed. Stand at the start of one of the long straight lanes of the old village to hear it.
