Gorges de la Siagne et Pont des Gabres

It is a place that will delight nature lovers and those seeking a refreshing getaway and a brisk swim.
The Pont des Tuves bridge is also known as the Pont des Gabres, depending on which bank you are standing on. For this bridge, built in 1802, overlooks the Siagne River and connects two departments: on one side of the Siagne, you are within the boundary of the village of Montauroux in the Var department; on the other, you are in Saint-Cézaire in the Alpes-Maritimes.
The word “Tuves” comes from the word tuf, meaning tufa (light, porous, often crumbly rock formed by limestone deposits) or tuff (similar rock formed by volcanic activity).

To reach this bridge, you must leave the village of Saint-Cézaire and descend to the Siagne River, following it through a forest of centuries-old oaks. After about 45 minutes on foot, you will be surrounded by beauty: the Tuves bridge, the waterfall, a small and charming beach, many ruins that serve as testament to substantial farming activity in eras past.
