SIGHTSEEING
of you as well as the zigzagging Cap Martin coastline . Colourful paragliders will swoop over your head as they descend towards their beach landing spot . Your senses will be overwhelmed by the magnificent views of the diverse coast and ocean stretched out as far as the eye can see , as well as the wonderful perfumes that drift from the surrounding vegetation and adorn your walk , such as freesia and lavender . There are some interesting tree formations along the walkway as well , and you might have to duck a couple of times to avoid the cool leaning trees . The walk has plenty of places to sit and rest while taking in the view and making the most of the sunshine .
Wander off the trail to the rocks down below ; look out for stairs or small openings in the bushes that allow you to make your way down right by the sea to explore more of the interesting rock formations and enjoy a more isolated view of the area . From here you can also get a clearer perspective on the glorious hidden villas built right along the Promenade Le Corbusier . Just don ’ t get too close to the sea or you might get splashed by salty waves on a windy day !
Once you ’ ve reached the end of the paved walk , to avoid going back the way you came , turn left up the road and walk through the peaceful villa laden streets to reach your car . Some of the most beautiful luxury villas of the Riviera can be found here and lovely lemon and pine trees adorn the walkway .
If you prefer a slightly shorter walk , you can park in Cap Martin near Avenue Virginie Heriot where you ’ ll find a little side street that merges onto the Promenade Le Corbusier . Either way , the walk is a must and will quickly become part of your all year round routine !
