Introduction
The St Cézaire to La Siagne river is a 3 hour walk. Begin in the charming village of St-Cezaire and descend 330m down to the Siagne river. Unfortunately there is a 330 m climb back up again. The effort, however, is worth it as you can see from the photos.
The descent to La Siagne
The descent from the village is long and steady with wonderful views across the ravine. In the distance the sound of the rushing water drifts upwards.
Be careful with your footing on this ancient mule track as there are a lot of loose stones. Around two-thirds of the way down there is a small canal. This canal was originally built in 1868 to supply water to Cannes. It is still an important water source for the villages down the valley.
You follow the canal despite the notice implying the route is not to be used. A few metres along the canal it passes through a tunnel, and the path continues around the tunnel. The path returns to the canal with a bars for support.
At the fifth bridge along the canal follow the track downwards. The sight and sound of the river as it rushes through the gorge become more obvious with every step.
Suddenly the ancient roman bridge comes into view. This bridge called Le Pont de Tuves is an enchanting spot often used by the locals for swimming. In order to reach the bridge you’ll need to pass through a waterfall and the path is frequently flowing with water.
This is an ideal spot for a picnic. The sound of the water and the atmosphere are magical.
The climb back to St Cézaire
The path continues upriver close to the water. Shortly afterwards the river widens and there is a view of St Cézaire high above. My heart dropped when I realised we needed to climb back to the village.
Part of that climb takes place as you walk beside the rushing water of La Siagne. Be careful of your footing as you walk this part of the route as it can be wet and muddy.
Approximately 20 minutes after leaving the Pont de Tuves you’ll arrive at another bridge, once called Pont des Moulins, but now more frequently titled Pont De Rey. This bridge doesn’t haver the heritage of the Pont De Tuves. It is a 19th century construction.
The major climb back to the village begins at this bridge. About one-third up the climb the path crosses the canal again.
You might want to take a breather here. The climb isn’t steep but it seems to be incessant. However It is worth looking back occasionally.
The views continue to be stunning even though you’ll probably be concentrating on the next step upward.
Eventually you will reach the top and you can look back at your leisure.
What a fantastic panorama!
PS phone battery ran out near the top hence the gap on the route at the end. I’m glad i took the camera otherwise I wouldn’t have captured the last pic.
