Discover a great variety of flora of the Esterel. You will be hiking on the adret (southern slope), which is very sunny and dry, covered with typical Mediterranean vegetation that has had to adapt to limit evapotranspiration (glazed and leathery leaves, etc.). The northern slope of the massif (ubac) is cooler and humid (microclimate quite close to the alpine type with the presence of ferns, holly, heather, etc.). The vegetation had to adapt to very poor soils: volcanic soils, hard and acidic, therefore not very degradable and washed away by the rains. Located on the border of the Var and the Alpes-Maritimes, between Saint-Raphaël and Mandelieu-la-Napoule, it is a protected site classified Natura 2000. The highest peak of the Esterel Massif reaches an elevation of a little more than 2,000 feet.
