Biot --> Sospel
We said goodbye to the French Riviera and headed back to the Alps. We were on the road for less then an hour when we started to hit the first of the mountains. And before long the overly winding roads became all too common. Roads like this make for seriously slow going, but also provide seriously beautiful views.
We weren't really sure where we were heading ... just into the mountains. But when we came across Sospel we knew we'd found our home for the night. Sospel is a cute little town with all the things that make mountain villages memorable (well at least for us). A river running through the middle, an old bridge, a couple of pubs, a few restaurants and cheap accommodation.
We only stayed the one night but it was just what we were looking for. We had a few beers at the local pub and lovely meal in a tiny restaurant. I think Sospel might actually be some sort of historically significant place, but we never really worked it out. All I can really confirm is that it was a great place for an overnight stay when you're heading into the French Italian Alps.
