Morgex

In a wide flat area, Morgex, an ancient village with a modern soul, enjoys a privileged position in the centre of Valdigne. In the village stands the Tour de l'Archet, one of the oldest towers in the region dating back to the end of the 10th century and home to the Natalino Sapegno Foundation. Also worthy of note is the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta, which houses a remarkable Baroque altar, frescoes from the 15th and 16th centuries and an interesting museum of sacred art. Despite the typically Alpine environment, vineyards are cultivated here up to an altitude of 1,200 metres to produce the famous AOC Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle, known as 'the highest wine in Europe'. The profile of Mont Blanc stands out in the beautiful landscape that embraces villages, forests and vineyards: Morgex also impresses with its artistic and gastronomic products.
