Sospel

Highlight • Settlement

In Sospel, you are already in Italy!

You will discover very pretty streets and alleys with colorful houses where it is pleasant to stroll, a superb baroque-style cathedral, but also the Pont-Vieux, as well as several still standing Maginot Line fortifications.

Hairpin bends of Notre-Dame de la Ménour

Highlight (Segment) • Religious Site

Just after passing near Notre-Dame de la Ménour, a sanctuary dating from the 12th century, the road takes the form of a very beautiful serpentine with numerous hairpin turns. It's a pure delight for cyclists. Don't hesitate, before setting off, to stop at the chapel which overlooks the Gorges du Piaon from a height of 780 meters.
