These 17th/18th century buildings, grouped together following the contours of the land under a rocky massif, in harmony with the wild nature of the upper Roya valley, are a real eye-catcher: the little perched hamlets are a must-see!
The perched hamlets on the right bank of the Roya are well worth a visit: Berghe inférieur and Berghe supérieur in the commune of Fontan on the RD 42, Granile on the RD 191 from the Casterino road (RD 91).

A yellow signposted hiking trail (PDIPR) links the three hamlets: Beacons 212 to 211 and then 32 between Berghe inférieur and Berghe supérieur, then beacons 33 to 219 from Berghe supérieur to Granile.
Possibility of walking loops via the Gauron barns, a magnificent viewpoint: From Granile, waypoints 220, 221, to Gauron, waypoint 222, to the pas de la Tranchée waypoint 223, and the col de Tate, waypoint 214, back to lower Berghe.
