Plan des Noves walk

It’s been a few months now since we’ve done a proper hike, so we thought it was about time to get back into the habit… We chose an easy walk near Vence, to get us back into the rhythm, so to speak.



The walk took us from near Col de Vence to Plan des Noves – a kind of flat terrace at about 700-800 meter’s height, which in the olden days was a busy agricultural zone. These days the area is pretty savage, although a couple of ruined sheep farms remain.

It was a nice and not too difficult walk, with a clear blue sky, some nice views over the Cagnes valley, with different landscapes compared to what we’re used to (a bit arid compared to the foothills around Nice).
