The weather was very nice this morning, so we decided to do another walk in the Nicois foothills. This time we chose to attack Mont Chauve ("bold mountain"), near Aspremont.
The walk was very nice indeed, with clear skies brilliant views over the Var valley, we could see all the way to the snow-covered (yes, it did snow up in the alps this week...) peaks of Park National de Mercantour. We also had some very nice views towards Nice and over the coast. We did encounter a few drops of rain at the top of Mont Chauve (at 853 meters), but nothing too bad...
Afterwards we had a walk around the village. It's a bit different from the other perched village, in that it is much less old (although still pretty) - although Aspremont is very old (dating back about 1000 years) it was destroyed in the 19th century and had to be rebuilt.
