Between Nice and Menton at the Italian border, the final and southernmost Alps plunge dramatically into the sea. Imposing mountains and limestone cliffs surround the coast but delightful trails go from the summits to the deep blue water. On the coast or on the balconies connecting the perched villages, wild herbs send bewitching scents … a hike with public transportation!
