Roquebrune and Grimaldi Castle Walking Tour
Things to know
About the Activity
An unusual and gentle hike from the seaside to the perched village of Roquebrune, with a visit to this medieval town and Grimaldi's Castle, then a little further up to an Exceptional Park offering orgasmic views. Most French Riviera visitors miss this spectacular, characteristic and perched village, with one of the most suggestive and extensive view over Monaco, Provence and Italy. We will take you to one of the oldest castles in France (11th century) where illustrious pages of Grimaldis of Monaco History was 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 one of 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).3 hours
