The Préalpes of the French Riviera Park
From the union between the French Riviera and the Alps were born the Préalpes of the French Riviera. The landscapes are both unspoiled and wild: agricultural valleys, woods and forests, meadows, steep-sided valleys? Under the sun of the Préalpes d’Azur grow more than 2000 plant species, including 65 protected species and 40 species only found here. You will also be able to observe many species of birds: rock ptarmigan, pipit rousseline, ladder tichodrome, boreal chickadee, blue mound… The park is a magnet for nature lovers. Hiking is a popular nature activity in the French Riviera Préalpes.
