Massif de l'Esterel
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.

don’t get me wrong this is a BEAUTIFUL hike! but we were expecting it to be a one hour hike and it ended up being four hours which we were unprepared for. maybe it’s on us or maybe they need better signage? pack lots of water!

a low-lying volcanic mountain of about 32,000 hectares, located in the south-east of the Var, in France. Équitable place for hiking. A red mountain borded by the mediteranean sea. Équitable place for hiking.
