Franciscan monastery

Highlight • Other

If you are in Saorge, take a look at the monastery. There is a nice talk about the monastery and many small things that date back to the time of the Franciscans.

Saorge

Highlight • Settlement

Small gem carved into the stone between rock and sky. It is worth leaving the valley floor and cycling the short climb to this beautiful village. Access prohibited to cars.

The route was a bit complicated because Komoot lost the track every now and then and then because of deviations and interruptions due to past floods.
