Once you reach the top you can admire the coast, weather permitting you can also see the island of Corsica. A wonderful peak

Small winding road with bridges carved into the rock overlooking one of the most beautiful canyons in France!

The highest peak for miles around, this ridge line is clearly visible from the beaches of Cannes. From up there, and weather permitting, you can sometimes see the island of Corsica in the distance. In my experience, being at the top for sunrise is the best time to be there.

From this summit (the highest in the area) you can see all the way down the Gorges du Loup and onward towards to the Mediterranean Sea and the beaches of Cannes Bay.

Roquesteron is a pretty village in the heart of the Estéron valley, bathed by the clear waters of this river, which stretches under the rocky bars of the Adrech. On the other side of the Estéron is La Roque-en-Provence which formed the same village with Roquesteron before 1760, a period when the valley belonged to the Duchy of Savoy and the Kingdom of Sardinia which included the County of Nice. By crossing the Pont de France you will reach this equally picturesque town. With your back to the bridge, in summer you will enjoy very pleasant swimming in its large and small natural pools.
