The region
Landscape : with its striking
contrasts between the
Mediterranean coast and the high peaks of the Alps, this region is the
ideal place to explore 'Naturist Tourism'. It has the peace, beauty and
authenticity that make for a true holiday. With its breath-taking landscapes,
towering peaks and rich, varied vegetation, the region offers both the
joys of the Mediterranean and the impressive beauty of the Alps.
Vegetation : The Alpes-Maritimes region offers exceptional plant life, with its cultivated terraces clinging to hillsides, the beautiful scents of Mediterranean flowers and the heady cocktail of lavender, thyme and rosemary lingering in the air. Marvel at the lush forests of pine, eucalyptus, larch, acacias, firs, sumachs and oak trees: along with its tropical vegetation such as palm trees and the cacti, which other French region can pride itself on having such a variety and contrast of vegetation?
