Collet des Graus de Pons walk

The excellent weather which we’ve been blessed with over the last few weeks didn’t relent – so we decided today would be a good time to do another walk (we figured it would be a good idea to keep up the practice so to speak – since the plan was to do a bit of walking on our upcoming road trip). We picked a walk not too far away from Cagnes – starting in Cipieres.

Cipieres is a typically pretty Procenval village, located between the equally picturesque villages of Bar-sur-Loup and Greolieres (which we’ve visited quite a few times over the last couple of years, since our good mate Ollie’s parents have a house there).

The footpath started at the altitude of 750 meters in the village, and took us through some typically pretty, if dry, landscapes. The going was quite easy, in spite of the gradual ascent. The walk ended at 1000m, next to a ruined settlement (with its well preserved “stone hut” called “la borie de Pons” – don’t ask me to translate that...). As this particular walk was not a circular one, we had to walk back the way we came...

A nice walk all in all, a pleasant way to spend a summer afternoon!
