PONT DU LOUP: COMMUNE DE TOURRETTES SUR LOUP

The summer of 2015 in the city of Nice, France, was a hot event. What to do when the temperature shows about 33 degree celcius? My advice is: Leave the city of Nice as soon as possible aiming at a nice little village not far from  Tourrettes- sur- Loup and Nice. The goal for your travelling is Pont du Loup situated between the river Gorges du loup and the mountains of Grasse. The village is not a modern site set up for tourists some years ago. No. At the end of the 19th century the village used to be a fashionable country resort . In 1944 the German troops blew up the arches spanning the river . The ruines of the railway have not been moved. The sweet factory and the waterfalls are  targets for any visit to the Pont du Loup. If you belong to the group of people addict to chocolate , you join me for a visit to the chocolate factory where we might enjoy the plessure of the addiction of eating chocolates. Besides you may take a swim or a bath in the cold but nice river close to the factory. The waterfalls are refreshing too!
