Mass of Esterel
The Esterel Massif greatly impressed me. This ancient volcano is a palette of colors, perfect for photographers. The striking red color of the volcano diminishes or revives itself, depending on the time of day, in permanent contrast to typical Mediterranean vegetation that has found its place on this volcanic land over 250 million years. Currently, the Esterel is 32000 hectares large, which can be all toured on foot, through their trails surrounded of wild landscapes. This place isn't just for photography fans, sports enthusiasts will love it too: there are circuits equipped for them, a total of 45 km.
Of trails to explore on foot, 100 miles of marked bike routes and 100 km of tracks for horses. But whether you are on foot (like me), cycling or riding, you need to be a little careful: there are 14,000 hectares classified and therefore protected!. And if you want to see a bit more contrast, you can go up to the top of the mastif(the highest is 618 meters above sea level), as there you will find a breathtaking view of the blue Mediterranean Sea.
