Between Garrigue and Mountain
At the edge of the Alps and Provence, in the Alpes-Maritimes, some spots are real jewels for enjoying a swim in the purest water. That’s how it is on the banks of the Estéron, at the medieval village of Roquestéron, where the azure river snakes and zigzags between the rocky, tree-lined banks. A little further west, the Marmites de la Bollène, accessible from La Bollène-Vésubie, lie in a series of emerald-coloured pools. If you are lovers of fresh, clear water, you should also visit La Roya, at the border between France and Italy.
