The Park "Gateways" |

They are didactic panels situated in particular tourist points, usually at the gateways of the "heart" of the Park and at the beginning of the hiking routes. They provide information on the area. Each "gateway" consists of more thematic panels: "Regulations in force in the National Park", "Geographical Information", "Natural and Cultural Heritage" specific of the place, and "Transboundary Space" dedicated to the twinning between Mercantour National Park and Alpi Marittime Park. The panels are in French and Italian. |
