Caussols

The limestone Plateau de Caussols defines the setting of Caussols — its fractured karst ground and broad open clearings have kept settlement sparse in the foothills of the French Alps. The commune lies within the Préalpes d’Azur Regional Natural Park, where Mediterranean and mountain influences meet across pasture, woodland and limestone ridges. On the nearby Calern plateau, the Calern Observatory is one of the sites of the Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur; its research installations give this quiet upland landscape an important scientific role. Caussols provides a calm inland contrast to the busy Riviera. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Alpes-Maritimes and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur.
