Description

This loop in the adventure of light to which the "city of lemons" is based has the peculiarity of developing on the confines of the hexagon, at the southeastern extremity of the Alps, where they literally plunge into the Méditerranée.

Also to face up and down a steep declivity, happily tempered by a relaxing balcony crossing to the village of Castellar, ancient fortified place.

At half-way, ideal place of contemplation, the long herbaceous plateau of Plan du Lion dominates by about 700 m the Riviera with the old Menton from where emerges the bell-tower of the church of Saint-Michel and further the peninsula of Cape Martin, then the principality of Monaco.

The arrival at the border ridge on the last Alpine bastion, Mount Carpano (773 m), reveals the somewhat obsolete charm of the Ligurian shores while the descent on the barns Saint-Paul offers in focus the marina Of Garavan and the vast olive grove of the Pian to 400 multi-centenary subjects.
