From Limone Piemonte to Menton in eight stages, this itinerary crosses a secret facet of the Alpes-Maritimes, along the Roya gorges. Steep cliffs, deep forests and isolated villages mark the descent from the peaks to the Mediterranean.
A journey between France and Italy, where authentic landscapes and charming communities reveal an unsuspected artistic and cultural heritage.
