The highest peak for miles around, this ridge line is clearly visible from the beaches of Cannes. From up there, and weather permitting, you can sometimes see the island of Corsica in the distance. In my experience, being at the top for sunrise is the best time to be there.

From this summit (the highest in the area) you can see all the way down the Gorges du Loup and onward towards to the Mediterranean Sea and the beaches of Cannes Bay.
