GourmetFly.com Fly fishing in France and also Italy in this case... Provence -3- Esteron, Tanaro... & other rivers of the southern Alps In the backcountry of Saint Paul de Vence, Nice or Monaco, are found rivers like l'Esteron, la Vésubie, la Tinée, le Boréon, le Loup or le Var. Even the wonderful Tanaro in Italy is joined within an easy 2 hours drive. All these rivers offer a great sporting chance and wonderful goals of excursions. You will be surprised to see how wild these landscapes look just a few miles away from the touristy zones. La Vésubie for instance runs through the natural park called Mercantour where sheep shepherds are facing problems with wild wolves ! Snowy Alps and  rugged hills in the background  of the river Tanaro Picturesque "hanging" villages have fairly narrow streets An old train station is overlooking the river, while an impressive Trattoria with spectacular food and soft beds is waiting for you after fishing the cold Tanaro waters... Enjoy the atmosphere of the little towns under the mountains We're not really far from the great wine region of Barolo Back to top
