Clans is a village in the Alpes-Maritimes, in the Nice hinterland. Its mountain setting appeals to travellers looking for valley scenery, hiking trails and Provençal villages rather than a seaside holiday. The village is a useful reference point for exploring part of the Southern Alps, where the landscape changes with the seasons. You can plan quiet days with walks and stops in neighbouring villages.

The Collégiale Sainte-Marie and the Chapelle des Pénitents Noirs are in the village. Further afield, Mercantour National Park offers hiking routes and mountain landscapes. The Ouvrage Maginot de la Madeleine bears witness to the region’s military history. The villages of Bairols and Marie offer a chance to discover the architecture and scenery of the hinterland. A car makes it easier to travel between these sights and the valleys; Malaussène - Massoins and Villars-sur-Var railway stations serve the area.

Spring and autumn are well suited to walks, with often milder temperatures for exploring the trails and nearby villages. In summer, morning hikes let you enjoy the mountain scenery before the hottest part of the day; a break by the swimming pool can then round off the day. In winter, the mountain climate calls for suitable clothing, and it is worth checking road conditions before setting off. For a longer excursion, Nice offers a contrast between the hinterland and the Mediterranean coast, with its museums, heritage and seafront promenade.
