Circuit Gravel FFC n° 3 : Tour du Macaron

Place Garibaldi - NicePhoto: Ville de Nice, @Photo Ville de Nice. REPRODUCTION INTERDITE SANS AUTORISATION.
A classic that's easily accessible from Nice to the lower slopes. One of the trails leads to the Châteauneuf ruins (750 m), the highest point on the route. The balcony trail, sometimes descending, sometimes ascending, leads to the Chapelle St-Joseph. The vast Sauréa farm (pig breeding) can be seen below. The small asphalt road over the Col de Châteauneuf, towards Tourrette-Levens, takes us back to medieval villages overlooking the Var valley, further west of Nice.
