History
Bellet is one of France’s oldest wine-producing areas, elevated vineyards that supplied regional courts; Saint-Paul-de-Vence has been an artists’ enclave since the 20th century, attracting painters and sculptors.
Conservation
Many Bellet growers use organic or low-intervention practices to protect thin soils and the coastal microclimate; stick to paths and avoid disturbing terraces to limit erosion.
