1. 1

   St-Laurent du Var

   Pass by

   Check-out from Nice towards Saint-Laurent-du-Var, gateway to the Nice hinterland. A quick passage that marks the transition between the hustle and bustle of the coast and the first mountain roads that lead to the perched villages.

2. 2

   Saint Jeannet

   15 min

   Crossing the picturesque village of Saint-Jeannet, dominated by the impressive Baou rock rising to 800 metres. One of the most photographed landscapes of the azurean hinterland, with its typical alleys nestled at the foot of the limestone cliff.

3. 3

   Vence

   15 min

   Stop in the charming city of Vence, a city of art and history known for its medieval old town, cathedral and past linked to great artists like Matisse. A beautiful glimpse of authentic Provence before the ascent to the Col de Vence.

4. 4

   Greolieres

   15 min

   Passage through the hilltop village of Gréolières, at the gates of the French Prealps, offering unobstructed views of the surrounding mountains. A more confidential step that reinforces the feeling of escape away from the busiest sites.

5. 5

   Le Bar-sur-Loup

   2 hours

   Lunch break at the restaurant L'École des Filles, located in a former communal school in the heart of the village of Bar-sur-Loup. In a warm, atypical setting — old classrooms transformed into dining rooms, a courtyard turned shady terrace — you will enjoy refined and creative regional cuisine, crafted from fresh, local produce.

6. 6

   Cascades du Saut du Loup

   20 min

   Stop in the heart of the Gorges du Loup, on the classified site of the Saut du Loup, in Courmes. A secure gazebo will allow you to admire the "Great Marmite", a natural basin carved by the erosion of the river over millennia, as well as the surrounding waterfalls nestled in lush vegetation. Your Guide will share the geological history of this remarkable site before letting you enjoy the panorama and take your photos. A refreshing break in the middle of nature.

7. 7

   Tourrettes-sur-Loup

   45 min

   Arrival in Tourrettes-sur-Loup by one of the most spectacular viewpoints in the region: the houses of the village, hanging on the cliff side, seem to hang above the valley of the Wolf. A must-see photo stop before strolling along the Grand'Rue, a half-moon thoroughfare where about thirty workshops of artists and craftsmen — potters, jewelers, ceramicists — have gathered to live this medieval village nicknamed the "City of Violets". A more confidential and artisanal atmosphere, far from the most frequented sites in the region.

8. 8

   Stop 8

   30 min

   Stop at the top of the hilltop village of Gourdon, on Place Victoria — one of the most beautiful viewpoints on the French Riviera. From this overhanging esplanade, you will discover a 180° panorama of the Wolf Gorge and the Mediterranean, from Cannes to the Esterel on a clear day. Your Guide will share with you the history of this medieval village classified among the "Most Beautiful Villages of France", before leaving you a moment to enjoy the view and take your photos. A highlight of the day, away from the busiest sites in the region.
