Vallée des Merveilles and Musée des Merveilles
-
High in the Parc National de Mercantour (see Parc National du Mercantour), this valley shelters a treasury of Bronze Age art (see Vallée des Merveilles, Mercantour National Park). Rock carvings are scattered over the slopes of the 2,870-m (9,400-ft) Mont Bégo, and date from 1800–1500 BC. They are almost impossible to find without a guide, but the less energetic can see fascinating examples in the excellent Musée des Merveilles at Tende.
