Massif de l'Estérel

A porphyry massif of volcanic origin placed between Saint-Raphaël and Mandelieu in the Alpes-Maritimes, the Estérel massif offers grandiose landscapes: canyons, steep slopes, defiles and jagged ridges follow one another in striking contrasts.

The Estérel massif rises to 618 m, to literally plunge into the azure blue of the Mediterranean.
The flora is rich and varied. Despite the successive fires, Aleppo pines, chestnut trees, charms, fig trees and olive trees grow in profusion and happily rub shoulders with palm trees, agaves, mimosas, eucalyptus, locust trees and imported tropical plants which have thrived particularly well thanks to the mild temperature.
Crossed by many hiking trails, you can make beautiful walks or bike rides.
