A beautiful walk along the Siagne, through the woods, with some lovely surprises in store: the Tuve bridge and its waterfall, a beautiful little beach, numerous ruins that bear witness to a major agricultural activity in the past, and a forest of centuries-old oaks that is nothing short of fairytale forest. In short, it's the perfect tour for nature lovers and those who enjoy a refreshing swim.

Departure from Saint-Cézaire-sur-Siagne (Alpes-Maritimes)
A circular route, best done in spring, leading to a spot known to all: the Pont des Tuves.
A magnificent panorama which, once summer arrives, becomes a motorway, making one forget the tranquillity of the surroundings.
This hike alternates between steep ascents and descents, making it quite tiring for some.
This route differs slightly from the one starting from the village of Saint-Cezaire.

After crossing the village centre, which has retained its feudal appearance, you will walk along magnificent paths, some of which are paved slanting streets. This hike is reserved for lovers of wooded areas and places steeped in history, as numerous remains bear witness to the intense activity that took place here until the early 20th century.
