Trek along the rustic Mediterranean scenery at Massif de l'Esterel, a protected mountain range spanning the French Riviera. The sight of these craggy porphyry cliffs fringed by dark vegetation and rising above an azure sea has inspired many writers and painters. Rugged terrain with deep ravines and old cork oak forests provide shelter to red deer, foxes, and wild boars. A national forest extends for 130 sq km (50 sq mi), crisscrossed with hiking and mountain biking trails featuring maritime and stone pines and strawberry trees. Enjoy the sound of cicadas and inhale the scents of rosemary, thyme, and lavender.

Le Massif de l’Esterel est un endroit magique et regorge de sentiers. On y rencontre souvent des sangliers qui sont de moins en moins sauvages. On peut se promener à pied ou en vélo ou VTT. more »

The Esterel Massif is a magical place and full of trails. We meet often boars that are less and less wild. You can walk on foot or by bike or mountain bike.

This course is a make of St. Raphael to Cannes Mandelieu to be included in the sea. Small coves accessible by places, provide good shoes. The red rocks to peak on the sea are masterful. Possibility of return by the DN 7, very pretty road or the A8 entered 40.
