This geological wonder offers stunning views, hiking trails, and secluded beaches. Historically a refuge for smugglers and bandits, the Esterel's rugged terrain now invites exploration and adventure, making it a must-see destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Enjoy panoramic vistas, spot diverse wildlife, and capture unforgettable sunsets over the shimmering sea.

Cap Dramont

Ascend Cap Dramont, a majestic headland characterized by its distinctive semaphore tower, offering unparalleled panoramic views of the French Riviera. Rich in history, the site played a crucial role during World War II as a landing point for Allied forces during Operation Dragoon. Today, visitors can explore the Dramont beach where the landing took place, climb to the summit for breathtaking coastal views, or simply bask in the Mediterranean sun. The contrast between the red rocks, the deep blue sea, and the verdant vegetation creates a visual spectacle that embodies the allure of the Côte d'Azur.

Île d'Or

Set sail to the legendary Île d'Or (Golden Island), a privately owned islet shrouded in mystery and romance. Famed as the inspiration for Hergé's 'Tintin' adventure, 'The Black Island,' this captivating island is distinguished by its medieval-style tower, built in the early 20th century. Although access to the island itself is restricted, admiring its golden hues from the sea offers a magical experience. Its dramatic silhouette against the backdrop of the Esterel Mountains makes it a photographer's paradise and a symbol of the French Riviera's timeless charm.
