Sospel is located about 15km inland from Menton (popular resort on the French Riviera).

Standing at the entrance to the Roya Valley, the town falls between the Riviera resorts to the south and the more remote perched villages to the north.

It is a pleasant town in a pretty setting on the River Bévéra, almost Italian in nature, with some interesting features to enjoy, in particular:

- the fortified stone bridge across the river that joins the two halves of the town (much of the bridge is a reconstruction, based on the original 11th century bridge, following extensive damage during the Second World War)

- some very attractive medieval houses, many with decorative painted facades.

- the attractive painted ensemble of buildings around and including the Church of Saint Michel

- the castle ruins above Sospel (little remains except the 14th century tower)

- a museum commemorating the Maginot Line, the (not very effective) defences constructed along the Eastern border of France to prevent invasion during World War II. The museum is at Fort St Roch, constructed in the 1930's as part of these fortifications.
