Châteauneuf d'Entraunes is a municipality in the Val d'Entraunes. Former granary of the surroundings, this hamlet perched high but surrounded by vast fields enjoys an exceptional location: it dominates the valley of the Var with an unobstructed view almost at 360 ° on the needles of Pelens, the valley of the Var and towards the Valberg ski resort.
Many hikes start from Châteauneuf, towards the hamlet of Toures and further up towards the Cime de l'Aspre.
It is an unknown treasure of the Nice hinterland which is certainly worth a detour.
