The Church located in the center of the village is worth a detour for the quality of its recent restoration and decoration. This church is built on the site of the old chapel of Saint-Blaise established as a parish in 1777 on the initiative of the abbot of Saint-Pons Antoine François RAMBAUDI.

St. Blaise - Levens

Highlight (Segment) • Other

A very nice variation to the broad and less attractive Var valley leads over this section towards the Vésubie valley. You drive in the Collines the Nice through lovely olive groves and enjoy beautiful views over the hills and the mountains beyond.
The path leads directly to the absolutely spectacular section "Gorges de la Vésubie". If you drive through these Gorges, you will be fascinated by the sudden changes in landscape and vegetation.
Compared to the drive through the Var and Vésubie valley you get a lot of offers, but of course you have to overcome some altitude.

The Vésubie gorges

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The Gorges de la Vésubie are deeply cut into the Maritime Alps and are among the most beautiful gorges in this region. The road builders were kind enough to provide us not only with the valley road, but also with a luxurious, well-maintained road stretching from the plateau near Levens to Béringuier. Breathtaking views into the depths, exposed sections of road in the limestone cliffs, tunnels, and a varied route. This section offers everything a road cyclist's heart desires… including occasional sightings of professional teams on the way to the Col du Turini.

Lantosque

Highlight • Other

The village of Lantosque offers the opportunity to enjoy a different kind of sport. Professionals in the discipline will take you on a more intimate discovery of the Vésubie Gorges, via ferrata. There are beautiful footbridges and passages, and for the more adventurous, an impressive zip line. The route is quite technical. For more information, visit the following website:
via-ferrata-lantosque.fr
In the village center, you'll find a bakery, grocery store, restaurants, and cafes.

At the Old Bakehouse in Lucéram

Highlight • Cafe

Handcrafted bakery ideal for a gourmet break on the road, open early (7h or even earlier, the baker is already there). Possibility to fill the gourds in the village fountains a few steps from the bakery.
