Easter 2017, the weather in La Bouverie was magnificent with 22 – 26 degrees celcius. Perfect temperature for walking in the mountains. One of the walks we really enjoy, is this one to Cap Roux in the Esterel mountains. It is a 45 – 60 minute walk to the top, some more if you take time to enjoy the magnificent scenery. And you should!
The walk is well suited for children, it is upwards, but never steep. Our two boys aged 5 and 10 had no trouble at all.
Here is a link to a page where you can find the online map including the starting place where you park your car.
Even in the beginning of the walk you start fairly high up on the mountainside and the view is great:
When you are almost at the top, you can really enjoy spectacular views, it just gets better and better the higher up you go:
And finally at the very top of the Cap Roux where the mountain meets the ocean, you can enjoy views of the coastline from Cannes to St. Tropez. The contrast between the very red mountains and the deep blue ocean can really take your breath away…
Driving down from the mountain, we met this “little” one. Not to shy. We only had bacon crisps in the car….
Soon after, his family joined in
