Restored forest house of a former duchess, which now functions as a free, unmanaged museum. Not only nice to see and to stop, but also a welcome stop for walkers and cyclists.

Not only are there benches in the shade, but drinking water / mountain water is also available, which is not an unnecessary luxury in this warm place. First pump six times as the sign indicates, to prevent you from drinking the stagnant water from the hose.

We even received a visit from a local fox, which is clearly fed here more often. We kept our distance ourselves (because you never know with rabies), but it was still a nice meeting. Highly recommended to stop here!

What a shame to have chased away the volunteer who had made this magical place in the Esterel so well.

I feel bad for my France!
