Valfréjus - The Replaton circuit |
|
Starting from Modane or Fourneaux, why
not go to the famous Maison penchée (Leaning House) ? You just
can't miss it, and it's a nice place for a stop. A little higher,
the monumental entrance to the first railway tunnel will also
amaze you.. Once arrived at the Replaton fort, on the other side
of the valley, you will be rewarded by an exceptional panorama
of the valley with, down below, Modane-Fourneaux and, on the other
side, the resort of Valfréjus.
