We left Villa Amiel, probably the best bed and breakfast in Sospel and eastward to cross the street in the Park of bananas, to the monument to the dead cooperative building resembles an old store. Passing between it and the transformer of 1,960 building opposite, follow the small road position more or less east in a few hundred meters begins to continue along the north side of the railway line towards the source.
There are some interesting houses in this way a sheep in the car to use and just plain weird – But soon left the most signs of civilization behind.

There are large rocks in the riverbed, although the river is fairly complete, which is how many small streams in this region – is easily passable with care. However, this is a good place to sit and take a break or a picnic – as if we did, enjoying a break in beautiful picnic time to eat well, drink and talk funny.
After a good rest, we join a path on the other side of the river, which is in both directions, up and down the hill. We decided to climb the hill, as if adding an additional 40 minutes for this pleasant walk – the view of the ruins at the top is glorious.
After have had our fill of the views we retrace the way down and pass the crossing point on the river walk a little hollow and we noticed some mossy rocks unusual even in a drier climate appeared to be wet after about 400 meters, follow the path down the slope to the right. and the top and turn left into the title track vaguely north.
Keep to the track, turn left where the entrance to the farm joined the team and more Council later in the track right at the bottom left, but we follow the trail follows a higher route and therefore, offers beautiful views of the valley Sospel.
After about 20 minutes – not counting the time spent taking photos – we're walking along and on the south side of the railway line to down slowly to the bottom of the valley. Following the trail as it descends the line around a turn to the right rail and crossedthe turning west along was again a road that brings us back to the source, a small rural houses in the river Sospel.
Just before this small subdivision begins, turn left down the slope of the next track, always vaguely west – this time – under and north of the railway line. A half-hour after crossing the railroad tracks, we recognize the first part of the track you walked along a few hours before we headed to the store of cooperation and Sospel.
From there, it's just a short walk to the park and over the monument. to be greeted by a welcome drink awaits us when we the Villa Amiel.
