Our Lady of Africa

Highlight • Monument

This statue is 12 m high and was created by the sculptor Fortuné EVANGELISTI. The origin of this idea is the original model, which is located in the Basilica of St. Eugene in Algiers on the African continent. The sculpture and its orientation are intended to represent the symbiosis between the two Mediterranean coasts. The shape, design and crown are characteristic of this. This unique work is a retreat for meditation and communication. After the foundation stone was laid in 1990, the monument was completed in 2000 and dedicated to the original in Algeria. The foundation stone was laid in 1990 on a piece of land that was made available by the "Monument to Our Lady" association as part of a long-term lease. Those named are those, living or deceased, who wish to commemorate their affiliation and their roots.

Viewpoint overlooking the Mediterranean and the Estérel Park

Highlight • Summit

In the middle of the mountains of the Esterel park, the view is splendid, with lots of small peaks erected with the Mediterranean Sea as a backdrop. Among them, we find in particular the Mont de Théoule or the summit of the Grosses Grues.
