Nice has the Mercantour National Park an hour behind it, with the Vallee des Merveilles rock engravings and wolves in the Alpha park. The Verdon gorge is two hours west, toured by road, kayak or pedal boat; Port-Cros island lies off Hyeres; and the Ecrins and Vanoise are further into the Alps. Across the border, Liguria's Portofino is two and a half hours by train.
