Utelle, France
Bellevue
Bellevue sits in the mountain village of Utelle, above the Var valley in the Alpes-Maritimes, where the cooking draws on the immediate landscape of the arrière-pays niçois. The address is sparse on formal credentials, which places it squarely in the tradition of French rural auberges: local supply, direct cooking, and a setting that does most of the persuading. For travellers moving between the coast and the high interior, it is a useful waypoint with genuine regional character.
