If you didn’t know that the village of ANGLES existed, you would never find it !

You go south from Saint Andre les Alpes, along the side of the Lac de Castillon to the Pont Julien, turn left between the tunnels into the ravine of the Angles torrent and you come to a shell-shaped pocket with the village of Angles in the middle literally inlaid into a fold in the landscape, in the heart of vast pastures. Its one time occupation by the Franks, then by the Saxons, who gave it the name of their principal tribe, is no doubt due to its strategic and highly protected position.

In 1215 Angles belonged to the co-seigneury of the Bishop of Senez and the Lerin monks, who built a priory and a hospice here.
