Prostitution Information Centre
Established by a former sex worker, the Prostitution Information Centre provides frank information and advice about prostitution to anyone who wants it – those in the business, those buying its services and those who are just visiting. The centre’s small store sells enlightening reading material and maps, but best of all is its excellent, hour-long walking tour (5pm Sat, €12.50 per person, no reservations needed), which takes you around the neighbourhood and into a prostitute’s working room. Proceeds go to the nonprofit centre.

Parc National du Mercantour Headquarters
Deeply isolated and breathtakingly beautiful, the Parc National du Mercantour is one of the last bastions of true wilderness in France. Spread across six valleys (Roya-Béréva, Vésubie, Tinée, Haut Var, Haut Verdon and Ubaye) and 685 sq km along the Italian border, it mixes Alpine snowy peaks with Mediterranean warmth. Parc National du Mercantour Headquarters is the headquarters of the Mercantour National Park.

12th Century Walls
Ávila's splendid 12th-century walls rank among the world's best-preserved medieval defensive perimeters. Raised to a height of 12m between the 11th and 12th centuries, the walls stretch for 2.5km atop the remains of earlier battlements of the Muslims and Romans. They have been much restored and modified, with various Gothic and Renaissance touches and even some Roman stones re-used in the construction.
