Fouad Z.
Hi, Fouad speaking, My friends know that the best place to look for me is at the bottom of the sea...

This tour focuses on nature, medieval villages and the region's little-known military history in an area that I keep coming back to for its natural beauty that changes with the seasons; I have hiked, skied and cycled in these mountains over many years. The trip's itinerary takes place in Alps, with spectacular views as we head up the winding roads. Because the southern Alps form a natural border between France and Italy, different empires have tried to control this region since 13th century, and it became a strategic spot for the French resistance during the Second World War. You will see the remains of a fortress, bunkers and a military camp dating from World War I and World War II. These have now become part of an untamed landscape mostly inhabited by cows (which produce a wonderful mountain cheese you will have a chance to taste).
Departure from your location in or around Nice. - After 40 minutes of driving, our first stop will be in a medieval fortified village, once part of the ancient Salt Route that led towards Piedmont. You will visit the ruins of a castle dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, with a tower still standing. You will see restored gothic houses, arcades, covered passageways, decorative doors, an ancient bread oven, small fountains, a quirky museum of antique tools, and finally the church, classed as a historic monument. Then we will drive through the Turin pass, 1600m (5250ft), famous for it spectacular views, the Monte Carlo Rally and the Tour de France. Our final stop will be the abandoned site of Authion. A short hike is necessary to reach the crumbling fortresses, forts and bunkers, where you will also see the remains of an American tank. Your lunch will be a picnic at mountain's summit facing the tallest peaks of the southern Alps.
