Estérel Massif
Ranked among the 10 most beautiful coastal massifs in the world, the Estérel is a natural jewel with flamboyant colours. Its flame-red rhyolite rocks plunge into the azure sea, creating landscapes of spectacular, wild beauty.
Just 20 minutes by car from Cannes, the massif offers dozens of walking trails of all levels, passing secret coves with crystal-clear water and peaks with breathtaking views over the Mediterranean.
The Corniche d'Or road (N98) crossing the massif between Fréjus and Mandelieu is rated one of Europe's most beautiful coastal roads.
