Vésubie River: refreshing swim in the Nice region
The Vésubie river winds its way through the valley of the same name. In the heart of the Nice hinterland, it is a watercourse that resembles a mountain torrent. Taking its source in the Mercantour, the Vésubie benefits from fresh, clear water. Set off to discover this corner of nature preserved from the hustle and bustle of the coast.
A refuge of freshness
The clear and refreshing water of the Vésubie is a real refuge on hot summer days. Imagine yourself on a hot day. The outside temperature is 38 degrees, the coastal beaches are crowded. What could be better than escaping into the hinterland in search of a little freshness. You will find several car parks and picnic areas along the Vésubie. Very often, more or less easy access to the watercourse is offered. Once at the water’s edge, you will have a choice. Dip just your legs or lie down in the water and let it rock you as it trickles down your body. The water will always be fresh and will contrast with the stifling temperature of the ambient air.
Some precautions to take
In order to enjoy the experience without taking any risks, here are some points to take into account. First of all, make sure you wear your shoes correctly. Sneakers or walking shoes will be necessary to access the watercourse. You can also equip yourself with special shoes that allow you to go into the water. This will prevent you from having sore feet when swimming. Furthermore, try to avoid unmarked paths and access points. If you decide to go for it anyway, be careful not to fall. In the water, move with caution. Some rocks can be slippery. Finally, always check the weather forecast before going to the location. If thunderstorms are forecast, do not go there.
To conclude
A true refuge of freshness, the Vésubie river offers a peaceful setting on hot summer days. Be sure to take the necessary precautions to ensure your experience is a complete success!
