Nice walk along the GR510 to reach Sospel.
We recommend you hike from Breil to Piène Haute, then continue to Sospel (7h30 total). -
Depart from Piene Haute via the D193 westward then descend via a stony chelin via the GR 510 (tag 440).
After the Saint Jérôme chapel, the path narrows along olive groves. Leave the cultivated lands and while remaining vaguely on the crest, join the D93 (markers 441 and 442) about thirty meters from the Italian border.
Follow the road for 300m and take a descending steep path that avoids a bend.
Another 100m of tar, then take on the right (tag 443) a path which winds in a ledge...Depart from Piene Haute via the D193 westward then descend via a stony chelin via the GR 510 (tag 440).

Follow the road for 300m and take a descending steep path that avoids a bend.
Another 100m of tar, then take on the right (tag 443) a path which winds in a ledge above the Bévéra and which is equipped with a botanical path through the town of Sospel. We soon reach the Caï bridge over which the Nice-Cuneo railway line crossed. Go under the bridge, cross the valley of Basséra and go up to the other end of the Pont de Caï.
From the bridge, take a dirt road that climbs to the right and join the D93 which you take to the bridge over the Nieya stream where you enter a shaded path that avoids a wide bend in the road. This path then heads towards the farm of Saint Gervais where it crosses the buildings while widening. It continues in the form of a dirt road which is covered with tar as it approaches the D2204. Take this route to Sospel.
