Discover Nice's Charms with Hotel Le Seize in Alpes-Maritimes

Itinerary to discover the remains of an oppidum classified as a Historic Monument in 1939 built by the Celto-Ligurian populations. From Avenue Camille Blanc in Beausoleil, take the Tivoli stairs. Cross the Avenue du Carnier, and take the Oradour Sur Glane staircase, then the rue des Lucioles. Then cross the road to the middle corniche Prince Rainier III and continue opposite on the Chemin de la Crémaillère. After 200m, turn right to join the avenue des Combattants d'Afrique du Nord and right again to access the path to the Mont des Mules site. The path, from the avenue, circles the site and stops at the orientation table. Go back down to Beausoleil on foot by the same route. Possibility of taking bus n ° 11 to return to Beausoleil.

This hike is an opportunity to come back to the rich agricultural past of Plan des Noves, former "granary" of the Vençois country. Panoramic peaks and canyon are waiting for you! From the Plan des Noves car park, go down slightly on the GR®51 until you reach the marker 65. 1- Take the path on the left to follow the circuit of Plan des Noves, until the marker 65a. 2- Turn right on the path (PR), 400 m further to the intersection turn left again on the path (PR) to gradually reach the ascent to the ridge. Go past the remarkable ruined sheepfold and continue 500 m to the crossroads. 3- Go down on the right on the path of "Mangia Pan" to find a track to reach the intersection. 4- Take the path on the right to return to point 1. Take the path used to go back to the Plan des Noves car park.

A rounded peak surrounded by limestone bars with peaks, Mont Gros abruptly dominates the bay of Roquebrune and the vast beach of Cabbé where paragliders and hang gliders find an ideal landing ground. From the Col de la Coupière (440 m), head south up the DFCI Trois Monts track (GR 51) before soon turning left onto the small diverticulum known as the "Rossignola"; this brings you to a significant bend in the road where you leave the track once again for the path that rises up the ubac of Mont Gros to a small collet located just above the nearby summit. Make a short return journey to the take-off area to admire the panorama of the summit of Mont Gros (686 m) and the prowess of the "libéristes" on their way to the beach of Cabbé, the ideal landing area. From the collet of Mont Gros, descend due south along a good path facing the sea on the generously reforested adret; when you reach the Fenouil houses, turn left to cross the eastern side of Mont Gros horizontally. A final climb through a coppice of yew trees takes you back to a small pass where you can follow the same route as before; you can easily reach the Coupière pass by the path, then the track followed on the way up. Road access From the N.7 at Cap Martin, go up the D.51 road towards La Turbie for 2.5 km. On the inside of a large curve, turn right onto the D.50 road leading to Gorbio; follow this road for 1 km and then turn left onto the narrow and steep asphalt path of La Coupière which leads to the car park of the pass (440 m).

Beautiful route towards the top of Gariglian with a panoramic view of the Mercantour valley and the entire Mediterranean coast from Menton to Nice. From the Gorbio car park, head north-west of the Rank valley via a paved path. After passing the DFCI Valmour trail, continue your ascent to reach the trail. Once arrived at the small source of Romin, follow the mule track which arrives on the right bank of the valley. Soon the landscape changes and the forest will welcome you to its lairs. Around the Col de la Madone and near the limestone fortress of Baudon, you will have to take the opposite direction to reach the Cabanelles plateau. Cross the summit of Galian, begin the descent on the lower Cabanelles to be able to take the path that will lead you to the Col de la Coupière. To return to Gorbio, you will have to take a northerly direction which will lead to a concrete path of one km.

This tour allows you to discover the rocky bastion called the Roc d'Orméa that dominates the French Riviera. This hike also offers a magnificent panorama from the summit over the coastal cities of Ventimiglia, Menton and Monaco.

The GR 51 trail from Menton (Alpes-Maritimes) to La Madrague (Bouches du Rhône) crosses the villages of Castellar, Sainte-Agnès and Gorbio. A magnificent hike on the paths of the perched villages of the Mentonnais Country. Castellar is on the GR®51 long-distance footpath, Balcony of the Mediterranean, through the departments of Alpes-Maritimes, Var and Bouches-du-Rhône, from Menton to La Madrague.

Castillon-Sainte Agnès by the forest trail (2h one way): It starts at the Col de Castillon, on the site of the ruins of two old villages. Walking is easy on this old mule track.

Hiking with views of Menton Bay and surrounding mountains, from Mount Razet (1,285 m) Maginot works of “la Pierre Pointue” where blockhouses, galleries, casemates or other turrets literally fill the ground From the Col de Castillon car park (730 m), follow on foot (north) the small road reserved for the residents of the Biatonéa district. A path soon rises to the left above a few houses; take it to a flat area and continue the ascent along a wide path with a steep gradient, which is followed by a winding path that winds through the cliffs of Mont Roulabre. You reach a fork in the road (1,168 m - b.92) just below the Scuvion drop; from here, head south on a quasi-horizontal crossing that leads via beacon 93 to the southern shoulder of Mount Razet where the "Pierre Pointue" (1,176 m) stands, a grey limestone tooth surrounded by military works. It is possible from this point to climb to the summit of Mont Razet (orientation table) by a small confidential path (b.93a); in this case add 110 m of ascent for 30 minutes of walking back and forth. Go back to marker 93, then descend on a beautiful winding path that runs through scree at the foot of a system of limestone bars. An oak grove precedes the abandoned countryside of Fontanelle, then come the first houses of the Biatonéa district where you find the small road followed on the way up.

An easy hike, almost entirely downhill. After some beautiful passages in the forest, the itinerary leads to Super-Garavan and continues in the direction of the old town of Menton, with magnificent views over the bay of Garavan and the Gulf of Peace. From the car park at the entrance to the village, head towards the Saint-Sébastien chapel (marker 416) and, at the first intersection, turn right downhill in front of the school (marker 145). The road then climbs slightly before reaching a new intersection shortly after the Saint-Roch chapel. Turn right onto the road leading downhill towards Menton (marker 414 Menton by Balmetta and Baousset). After a few metres, the route, signposted and marked by a yellow rectangle, goes off to the left and flat. You then lose altitude along a small path with superb views, skirting some beautiful properties. Once past the Maglioc ravine, the route runs alongside an imposing wall that obscures the view of a magnificent property. Shortly afterwards, this path joins a concrete track near the motorway and passes through a completely painted tunnel at the end of which you come out onto the road. Go up to the right and turn left at the first intersection onto the road to Colle Supérieure (sign), in the direction of the old town. The road climbs steeply at first and then descends through the houses, passing the Trabuquet cemetery. After a few steps downhill, you reach a crossroads with the old Menton cemetery opposite, at the top of the old town. There, on this small square, turn left into the small alley that runs alongside the cemetery. Then, by a succession of stairs, reach the Saint-Michel basilica in Menton.

Starting from Castellar. The Grand Mont (or “Grammondo” for our Italian friends) truly dominates the Mediterranean, which is only 6 km away. From the small road to Castellar (310 m), go up the gravelled laces of the historic path of La Penna until you reach the homonymous point; cross level (north-east) until you reach the St. Bernard pass (769 m), go around the chapel and go up the path that leads to the ruins of Morga. Go up north along the GR 52 by a path to the Fayche Fonda drop, then by a track to the drop and the ruins of Colla Bassa (1,110 m). Turn right onto a fairly steep ramp that climbs steeply up the western side of the Grand Mont before leaving it for the steep final shortcut (1,379 m). After the tour of the summit, continue to the East summit of the Grand Mont and descend towards the Italian side to quickly join the balcony path that winds just below the border ridge. We reach the Pas de la Corne (short ascent) which we cross to return to the French side; we reach the Col St-Bernard by alternating portions of paths and tracks and return to the starting point by the Penna path.
