Aiglun: Hotels and accommodation

The Clue d’Aiglun is a canyon used by canyoning enthusiasts, set in a wild and impressive landscape where the green waters of the Estéron flow. The starting point of the Clue d’Aiglun can be reached on foot from Aiglun via the Sentier du mont Saint-Martin in approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. The route requires low water levels (low-water conditions), as it passes through extremely narrow gorges and, in some sections, requires moving along rock ledges outside the water.

Those who have chosen Aiglun as their travel destination may wish to book a hotel there.

Nature and trails

The 140-metre-high Cascade du Vegay is a remarkable natural site in the Alpes-Maritimes département and has been designated a classified natural site since 1933. It is a destination for short hikes on the GR4.

Culture and history

The Forteresse troglodyte d’Aiglun, also known as the “château d’Aiglun”, is a cave extended by a rock ledge that provides access to a spring. During the turbulent 14th century, it appears to have served more as a refuge than as a lookout post.

The Église Saint Raphaël dates from the 18th century and is inspired by Romanesque architecture.
