GUIDE TO THE POPULAR BOTANICAL TRAIL BETWEEN SOSPEL IN FRANCE AND OLIVETTA IN ITALY.

In a quiet corner of the Maritime Alps, along the mountainous borderland between France and Italy, runs an extraordinary path. At the eastern edge of the mysterious and magnificent Mercantour National Park, steeped in man’s history stretching far back into the mists of time, the Sentier Botanique wriggles along slopes and scarps following the River Bévéra between Sospel and Olivetta.

Written by Dr Chris Betts, this little guide is a result of a quarter of a century’s fascination with the flora, scenery and natural history of the southern French maritime alps, and in particular with the Sentier Botanique near which the author lives during the periods of the year he spends in France.

The guide is in A5 format, colour illustrated with a map and photographs, and costs just £10 including post & packing in the EU. It can be ordered from us by email or phone (ask for Mary) or direct from our web site (click here).
