The Cordula was created by the Ligurians, then occupied by the Greeks and Romans before being burned by the Barbarian invasions of the 4th century. The wooded parkland now lies lust north of the coast at Vallauris and offers shade on sunny days.

2. Sentier de la Brague Walk
This enjoyable half-day hike follows a river linking two of the region’s most beautiful towns, Valbonne and Biot.
Access to this hike is quite easy - buses run from Nice to Valbonne and Biot so you can start from either end and still have time to explore both towns. They are both great for gift shopping and have plenty of good restaurants, so try to factor in lunch at either one of them. If you want to drive up then Valbonne is the better place to start as it has more free parking, there is also a bus that connects the two towns so you can get back to your car afterwards.
Our route is described from Valbonne to Biot, but you can do the hike in either direction and it is signposted from both towns.
3. Tour du Cap d'Antibes
When you think of the Cap d'Antibes you tend to think prestigious villas and residences for billionaires, nestled in the green oasis of the peninsula.
This path winds its way around the coast between those homes and the deep blue Mediterranean sea. Returning through the small old roads inside the Cap d'Antibes this is a great short circuit perfect for everyone.
4. Le Camp Romain
Perched at nearly 500m above sea level this historical site once housed Romans in tents as they overlooked the land below.
