Massif de l'Esterel

Reviewed By LilaLamri2019 - Algiers, Algeria

Esterel lointain offers several hikes between the sea and the cliffs: "le chemin des douaniers" at Saint aygulf and "le sentier du litoral" which begins at the port of Santa Lucia in Saint Raphaël and ends at le "débarquement beach", some 4 km intermediate level. You can discover, along the way, beautiful coves where to swim in peace. sun block is required, good anti slip shoes, water and a towel and your camera of course, the shots are exceptional thanks to the red rocks color of the region. To go back, you can take the bus, it runs every hour, if too tired.

La Croisette

This world-famous street, which runs along the shoreline of Cannes, is full of upscale shopping opportunities.

Reviewed By florinr814 - The Hague, The Netherlands

La Croisette is always an awesome place for summer holidays. Its sandy beaches, the great food restaurants and the luxury shops offer all the ingredients of a perfect stay, althought a bit too expensive.

Promenade des Anglais

This famous street travels along Nice's Mediterranean waterfront.

Reviewed By mbc421 - Toronto, Canada

There is something to be said for a morning walk with a warm, salty summer breeze rolling off the Mediterranean. The Promenade des Anglais is a wide spot that is perfect for a morning jog, a hop down to the pebble beach, or simply stopping for a coffee or cocktail to people watch. I went in the morning and afternoon and found the experience more relaxed and less hot in the morning. The Promenade is close to the old town, so if you like long morning walks you can combine both. The Promenade is the best option for joggers, strollers, and slow-walking groups who want to stick together.

All roads seem to lead in and out of this area and it is the natural focal point of the city the trams come around and through it the buildings are delightful to see and it has a lovely air of relaxed feeling

Fort du Mont Alban

Reviewed By timc499 - Leeds, United Kingdom

The foot path is signposted from M6098 Princess Grace Boulevard. We walked up very steep steps through the woods and the Parcourse exercise area. Joined the road Chemin du Fort. It took about 35/4O mins brisk walk quite strenuous at first. Stunning views over Villefranche-sur-Mer to Cap Ferrari and Nice on the other side. You can walk around the base of the fort. Visiting is v limited. We did not but you can book a tour at Centre de Patrimonie in Nice or on line. It is Eu5 and I think you get the bus up from Nice with a guide. The return down to Villefranche was via a track to the west of the fort. The start of the track is off the main road up by the fort but tricky to find. Persevere as it is there and one on it way to follow a steep rough track down to Avenue General Leclerc and into town. We were up and back down in 1 1/2 hours but if you take a picnic it is a nice spot to linger. PS you can drive up or walk via the road but not so much fun!
