The weather turned really great on the Riviera again, and we had a car at our disposal. So we decided to drive down to Massif d'Esterel and do a bit of walking.
Massif d'Esterel is situated between Cannes and Frejus - it's basically a large, hilly area with plenty of canyons. It's not actually all that high (goes up to a bit more than 600 meters), but it actually looks pretty mountainous. And you get brilliant views over the Riviera. Very nice colours as well - with the blue sea, the green trees, and the reddish colours of the Massif.
Our walk took us via les Grosses Grues (the big cranes - as in the birds), at 441 meters, via les Petits Grues (yep, you guessed it - the little cranes) and finally to Col Notre-Dame.
After this rather strenuous but very rewarding walk we stopped for a cappuccino and ice-cream at Theoule-sur-Mer, a nice seaside town.
