Description

An unusual, gentle hike from the seaside to the perched village of Roquebrune-Village, with a visit to this medieval town and the Château Grimaldi, then a little further up to an Exceptional Park offering unique views. Few visitors to the Côte d'Azur are lucky enough to experience one of its most spectacular, characteristic and perched villages, with one of the most suggestive and extensive views of the Principality, Provence and Italy to the east, and one of the oldest castles in France (11th century) where illustrious pages of the history of the Grimaldis of Monaco were written. Let us show you Roquebrune-Village, in the footsteps of writer Romain Gary and other artists, and feel the poetry that emanates from it. Don't miss the monumental tree: the largest, most beautiful and proudest olive tree on Earth (and the oldest, dating back 2000 years), and a park with numerous bunkers from the Second World War. A unique, unusual and extraordinary place (highly recommended between 14 December and 7 January for its living nativity scenes).
