A fascinating place for a sustainable holiday: the Alpes-Maritimes offer unique natural landscapes, but not only that. Let’s go to the discovery of these beautiful mountains, between nature, wolves and art museums.<\/p>\n

You walk for 10 days, starting from San Giacomo di Entraque, and then follow the traces of the wolf through the Park of the Maritime Alps in Piedmont and the Mercantour Park in France. It is a beautiful itinerary, with a fascinating history, among mountain refuges and\u00a0beautiful mountains, lakes and forests, and that allows you to admire the wolves visiting the fauna centers of Entracque and Le Bor\u00e9on.<\/p>\n

It is a magical journey between small characteristic village\u00a0and alpine landscapes. Then you get to Limone Piemonte, an internationally renowned ski resort, and then cross the French border to discover the Roia Valley. Then, you begin to descend, you return to Italy arriving in Liguria, until you reach the sea of \u200b\u200bVentimiglia.<\/p>\n

Discover the art of Marc Chagall<\/h2>\n

The complex was thought by the same painter in 1973, to accommodate in particular its 17 canvases depicting scenes from the Old Testament.<\/p>\n

Second stage of art for our green holiday among the Alpes-Maritimes. The Maeght Foundation<\/strong> is a charming and special exhibition center dedicated to modern and contemporary art located in Saint-Paul de Vence, near Nice. The collection includes works by artists such as Braque, Calder, Chagall, Giacometti, L\u00e9ger, Mir\u00f3, Adami, Kelly, and T\u00e0pies, and the center is a perfect example of harmonious integration between art and landscape.<\/p>\n

Eco-friendly stays<\/h2>\n

\"Ecohotels<\/p>\n

There are many eco-sustainable accommodation facilities in the Alpes-Maritimes<\/a>, both in Italy and France. You can choose from mountain refuges, eco-chic hotels, romantic B & Bs or still glamping and tree houses. In France, in Saint-Jeannet, there is the B&B La Maison Bleue<\/a>, a typically Provencal home, with a relaxed and artistic atmosphere, with a beautiful garden.<\/p>\n

\"phil-coffman-161238-3\"<\/p>\n

There is no better way than walking to look inside yourself and admire nature, to find out all the beauty around us. Here, in the Alpes-Maritimes Park, we can face a fascinating four-day trek with a recognized Guide to the Park, following the dense network of mule trackers used for hunting by King Vittorio Emanuele II, crossing glacial lakes, alpine or wild prairies. Stamps, chamois, marmots, eagles will be the fellow travelers of this adventure.<\/p>\n

Immerse yourself in contemporary art<\/h2>\n
