Description
Saorge is a medieval village in the heart of the Royal Valley. It offers stunning views and many things to discover. And it is rich in history, culture and biodiversity. So don’t miss out on the chance of exploring this marvellous place in France. Join me on this 3-hour guided tour and let me show you this fantastic place!
The town of Saorge is considered one of the most wonderful hilltop villages in the Royal Valley. It has amphitheatrical houses and constructions that resemble those along the Tibet.
During our hike, we will wander through its mysterious streets. We’ll visit old churches, convents and towers, Also, we’ll hike around to discover wild places such as the valley of Bendola. And, I’ll guide you to the famous gorges of Saorge. Additionally, we’ll visit the old farming districts of Caine and Bausson.
This area has a very unique biodiversity. Some of the species here are the chamois, ibex, mouflons, deer, roe deer and wild boar. But others, like the wolf, have returned to this place. And above the clouds, golden eagles, bearded and tawny vultures reign the sky. So, keep your eyes open in case we run into any of these creatures.
You can visit this region any time of the year. Winter turns it into a gorgeous frozen wonder. But, spring brings something special, with orchids brimming all around. And during autumn, the most hypnotizing colors cover everything around. The strokes of warm shades of red, orange, yellow, green and brown are so vivid, they seem to have come out of a painter’s pallet.
If you want to take part on this adventure please send me a message. I promise you will have an amazing time in this beautiful place. If you want a winter adventure, I also guide this Half-Day Snowshoeing Tour in Auron, in the French Alps.

Nature is for me a fabulous field of investigation . Colors, scents, sounds are always present and reveal us so many sensations.
My hometown is Nice on the French Riviera and I explore my region from the Mediterranean shores to the highest peaks of the Mercantour National Park. In the summer time on foot, and in the winter with snowshoeing.
I am looking forward to guiding you in my region, sharing the vision of chamois, marmots and ibexes, on the tracks of wolves, and with a golden eagle in the sky.

Richard delivered exactly what I was hoping for. The choice of route suited me perfectly; he fitted in with my timelines which was important to me and the cherry on top was that he was a delight to walk with and chat to for 3 hours. If I was here a little longer, I’d do another one and definitely will when I come back. Thank you ☺️
