Just 25 km from Nice on the N202 (Route de Grenoble), Plan-du-Var seems just a wide place in the road as you're heading north to get to the back country beyond the coast. Here you have the first feelings of being in the mountains, as they tower over you all around, and the smell of the air coming down the Gorges de la Vésubie is fresh and clear.

The train station here for the Train des Pignes is called La Vésubie, its last stop before heading into the wild, upper Var-river valley.
Just out of the village after you cross the river, you can turn right into the narrow Gorges de la Vésubie, and you'll instantly feel cut off from the rest of the world. Follow this gorge up past St. Jean-la-Rivière, Lantosque, Roquebillière to St. Martin-Vésubie and the Parc du Mercantour.
Plan-du-Var has a brocante every Friday.
