Vallée de l'Estéron - Alpes Maritimes
Estéron Valley

Wide open spaces where wooded slopes alternate with arid plateaux in the land of very narrow gorges, clues (St-Auban, Aiglun, Gréolières...), caves (Audibergue Massif) and perched villages still living according to the ancestral tradition of sheepherding. Let yourself be charmed by authentic villages like Gilette, Cipières or the small resort of Thorenc and discover the exceptional vista on the entire coast from the Cheiron range...
