Wonderful drive up to the top of the mountain. There are plenty of spots to stop and get great pictures. There's a large parking lot nearby, save yourself from being towed away.
Superb octogonal fortress built at the top of the Mont Boron's hill 220 meters above sea level. It offers a superb panoramic view of the surroundings : the harbor of Villefranche-sur-Mer and the Italian borders on one side, the Bay of Nice and the Estérel on the other.
In the middle of the 16th century, Nice was one of the essential points of the Savoy States Defense system in the face of Turkish invaders, allied with the French since 1543. The Rade de Villefranche-sur-Mer, because of its depth and sheltered situation, is the main commercial port of the region until the opening of the Port of Nice in the 18th century. It was also the Savoy War Port for four centuries.
In 1557, the Fort du Mont-Alban was built on the orders of Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoie.
This massive work is designed as a complement to the fortresses of Nice and Villefranche-sur-Mer, and to control their connection: north of Mont Boron, the Fort du Mont-Alban flanks the Citadel Saint-Elme and the Dars of Villefranche-sur-Mer built at the same time, and protects the west of the city.
Très bel endroit avec vue magnifique. Plusieurs accès à faire en randonnée ou alors petit parking pour y monter en voiture. Le petit bémol, pas d'accès pour entrer dans le château.
Parc du Mont Boron, très bel endroit, avec vue sur la baie de Villefranche et la mer et aussi sur Nice, l’aéroport, plein de balades dans la nature, proche du centre-ville, top !
Magnifique vue panoramique sur Villefranche et Saint Jean Cap-Ferrat et de l'autre côté sur la ville de Nice. Endroit très calme et très beau. A ne pas rater.
