l’Esterel
The Massif de l’Esterel is a Mediterranean coastal mountain range in the departments of Var and Alpes-Maritimes on the French Riviera. Neighbouring cities are Mandelieu-la-Napoule and Cannes on the east, as well as Saint-Raphaël and Fréjus on the west.
The soil and rocks of the range are of volcanic origin, composed mainly of rhyolite, which gives the hills a red color.
The terrain is rugged, with deep ravines and oak forests. The highest point of the massif is Mont Vinaigre (618 metres or 2,028 feet).
