Valbonne: Guide

Valbonne is a village and région of southeastern France.

History

Constructed in 1519 by Augustin de Grimaldi, bishop of Grasse and abbot of Lérins Abbey|Lérins, the aim was to use exclusively local labour to build a community that would lead to the repopulation of the region, which had suffered greatly in the Black Death in 1351. This was accomplished by the importation of Italy|Italian artisans, to work the clay found in the nearby villages of Vallauris and Biot, Alpes-Maritimes|Biot. Located adjacent to a Chalasian abbey originally established in 1199, the village is laid out along a grid pattern, under the influence of castra|Roman military camps, with two principal avenues, arranged perpendicular to one another, and the Forum (Roman)|forum at the intersection.

Economy

While the village has been preserved in its original condition, nearby is the high tech centre of Sophia Antipolis, constructed in the 1960s along the same lines as La Défense near Paris.
