Il concetto

The most beautiful coastal hike of the Riviera

Leave the buzz of Nizza for the picturesque port of Villefranche-sur-Mer via the coastal trail. A gentle 4-hour walk along panoramas, secret coves and the unmistakable scent of pine and salt — finishing with a Mediterranean swim.

Your French / English-speaking guide walks you past Mont Boron, Fort du Mont Alban, the protected paths of Cap de Nizza, and the glorious arrival on the Bay of Villefranche — one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Small group, paced for comfort, optional swim.
