The Baroque Route

First of all, take a stroll along the routes that have marked the history of the entire destination.

Churches, chapels, citadels, castles, monasteries… You will be amazed by their imposing façades and their meticulous architectural details.

Long distance hiking

In a completely different register, let yourself be tempted by a hike in the high mountains on a section of the GR5. This programme of more than 1200 km crosses the Vogues, Jura and Alps massifs. A spectacular journey along the entire route, which ends in beauty in front of the sea of Nice.
