Loop De Loup
We have had a love affair with the Cote d Azur for many years and would like to share some of the experiences of our ‘Happy Valley’ around the Rives du Loup or River Loup. The river has its source in the pre-Alps of Grasse in the Parc des Rives du Loup – a local area of natural beauty . It runs from the limestone highlands to the sea through wild and cool gorges, then wends its way down the valleys to the sea at Villeneuve Loubet, close to Antibes, giving its name to many pretty villages en-route
The South of France is a beautiful holiday destination but is really an area of two halves. Most visitors head along the cost from Nice to St Tropez but the real beauty starts two to three miles inland with the pretty villages in the foothills of the Alpes Maritime region of the Cote d Azur
Our destination is La Colle sur Loup, a pretty village on the Rives du Loup and one of the best locations to explore the Cote d Azur and beauty of the Alpes Maritime region. The village is just a short journey from Nice Cote d’ Azur airport and the centre on our ‘Happy Valley’
Our ‘Loop du Loup’ is is a journey around some of the prettiest villages in the South of France – starting from La Colle sur Loup to St Paul de Vence, then onto Vence, Tourrettes sur Loup, Le Bar sur Loup, Pont du Loup then stop for lunch at Grasse. Grasse. to complete the journey follow the route to Valbonne, Rouquefort- les Pins then down the Gorges du Loup back to LaColle.
Before doing the journey around the Loop get to know La Colle sur Loup.
