Dopo aver raggiunto il Fort de la Revere scendiamo su ripidi versanti che portano in uno dei tratti più belli della Costa Azzurra, passando per Eze, uno dei villaggi “perché”, noto per la sua bellezza che ha ispirato scrittori come Nietzsche. L’itinerario comincia da La Turbie (479 m), sulle alture di Monaco, raggiungibile con bus di linea in partenza dal principato. A piedi esiste un sentiero piuttosto ripido (GR 51b) che parte a fianco del Parc Princesse Antoniette, dove si arriva con una serie di scalinate a partire dalla stazione SNCF. La Turbie merita una visita, sia per il caratteristico borgo, ma soprattutto per il maestoso “Trophée des Alpes”, monumento di origine romana, inizialmente alto 50 metri, che oltre a celebrare la potenza dell’imperatore Augusto, elencava nella base le tribù che i Romani stessi erano riusciti a sottomettere dopo anni di battaglie.

André Theuriet, Au pays bleu, préface. Voyage dans le passé, il y a plus de deux millénaires, lorsque le Col de La Turbie était considéré comme la frontière entre la Gaule et l’Italie. Les Romains choisirent ce lieu à la situation exceptionnelle pour ériger le Trophée d’Auguste à la gloire de l’Empereur romain, neveu de César. Voyage dans l’histoire médiévale de notre région, à l’époque où le Trophée, pillé et ruiné au cours des siècles, transformé en forteresse, faisait partie du système de défense du Comté de Nice. Voyage au cœur du patrimoine architectural de La Turbie, alliance réussie 2 entre diverses influences artistiques et religieuses, dont la richesse et la diversité, souvent méconnues, étonnent toujours ceux qui en font la découverte. Voyage au-dessus des nuages, à plus de 500 mètres d’altitude, entre mer et montagne, ville et campagne, dans un décor naturel épargné qui propose un cadre de vie exceptionnel, à proximité de la Principauté de Monaco. Malgré l’attrait qu’elle exerce et l’extension inévitable de son habitat, La Turbie a su garder son authenticité. Voyage sur les flots immenses de la Méditerranée, perché sur les falaises de la Tête de Chien ou du Mont Bataille, là où s’ouvrent des panoramas à couper le souffle, parmi les plus vastes et les plus variés de la Côte d’Azur, depuis l’Italie jusqu’au Golfe de Saint-Tropez.
