Fort Revère, Military fortification in Èze, France

Fort Revère stands on high ground with defensive structures designed to withstand artillery attacks and monitor movements along the French Riviera coastline.

Constructed in 1882 as part of the Séré de Rivières system, the fort strengthened French defenses following military reforms after the Franco-Prussian War.

The fort represents French military engineering excellence through its architectural design, which adapted to new warfare technologies of the late 19th century.

Visitors can reach Fort Revère by car from Nice or Monaco, with parking available near the entrance and guided tours offered during summer months.

The fort incorporates specialized artillery positions and underground tunnels that enabled soldiers to maintain surveillance over both land and sea approaches.

Location: Èze

Inception: 1882

Hiking along the French Riviera: Coastal paths between Nice and Monaco, from Cap d'Ail to the Gorges du Verdon

Between Nice and Monaco, coastal trails provide the opportunity to explore the Mediterranean coastline through various routes. The Cap d'Ail Coastal Path, Nietzsche's Path in Èze with 400 meters of elevation gain, and the Mont Boron Park in Nice with its 11 kilometers of marked trails allow exploration of the region from different perspectives. These routes alternate between seaside sections and uphill segments, offering views over the coast and inland areas. The geological diversity of the region is evident in the limestone cliffs lining the Route des Crêtes between La Ciotat and Cassis, the rock formations of Cap d'Ail, and the red rocks of the Esterel Massif. Further inland, the Verdon Gorges feature a canyon 700 meters deep, while the Mercantour National Park houses the Sentier des Géants within its ancient forest. The historical heritage marks these routes: the Nice Observatory on Mont Gros dates from the 19th century, Fort La Revere overlooks the coast from 696 meters altitude, and Saint-Honorat Island preserves its active monastery. These trails serve as direct accesses to the nature and history of the French Riviera.
