Jardins/Gardens

The Riviera is a paradise for Gardens as weather is never too cold and never too hot. It is rich of flowers all year round and green as we have lots of water when it rains even if it rains very rarely, moreover we get plenty of water from all year snow in South Alps. Here is a non exhaustive list of a few of them with rare exotic plants or a special atmosphere:

If you like flowers and wild life, you will see plenty during any of the 20 hiking tours I describe in the guide book I wrote for you. Some of these hikes are very easy, others are demanding.
