Presentation
Sorio is one of the many villages on the Nebbiu balcony overlooking the Gulf of Saint-Florent. Situated at an altitude of 400 metres, it backs onto the Tenda massif. The village is made up of two hamlets: A Valle and A Croce. At the entrance to the village, the church of Saint-Philippe Neri, with its magnificent five-storey bell tower, faces the chapel of Santa Croce. Just below the village is the 12th-century chapel of Sainte-Marguerite, listed as a Historic Monument in 1936. In the village, you will discover the vaulted fountain, the oven and the wash-house, all examples of the restoration of small-scale built heritage. The houses here feature some highly original architectural details: wooden lintels, gabled lintels, corbels, engravings, sundials, loghje (vaulted passageways) and dated stones. The Saint-Antoine plateau, upstream from the village, lies at the convergence of several transhumance routes. One of these can be explored along the Sorio heritage trail, which takes you to a land that still bears witness to centuries of agropastoralism.
