Sospel

Highlight • Settlement

Sospel, with its old bridge spanning the Bévéra river, its arcades, its washhouses and its old houses will charm you. You will clearly see an Italian influence, with the cheerful colors of some houses and clothes drying on the balconies. The town also has a mountainous look with its buildings constructed from local stones, giving it an undeniable austere air.

Sospel village and the Old Bridge (Pont-Vieux)

Highlight • Settlement

In Sospel, you are already in Italy!

You will discover very pretty streets and alleys with colorful houses where it is good to stroll, a superb Baroque-style cathedral, but also the Pont-Vieux, as well as several fortifications of the Maginot line still standing.

Braus Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

People have been stopping to marvel at this view since the col’s famous switchbacks were constructed in the early 20th century. Take your time up the ascent and you will admire the olive groves, and maybe spy the remnants of the old Route Royale, the salt road that linked Nice and the coast to Piedmont and the Dukes of Savoy in Turin.

Col de Braus is part of our Montagnes à la Carte series, head over to bit.ly/2UvpAmH and claim your badge if you rode this classic.
