Esterel Pic de l'Ours

From the coastal village of Agay, situated on the Corniche de l'Esterel a road leads inland and encircles (mostly as a single-track road) the Pic de l'Ours (496m/1,628ft). This summit in the eastern part of the mountain range, from which there is an extensive view, is best reached from the nearby Col Notre-Dame, to which the mountain road climbs with numerous bends. From this stretch of road there are magnificent views of the deeply fissured rocky coast. It takes about half an hour's climbing to reach the summit of the Pic de l'Ours on which there is a radio and television transmitter. The panorama from here is highly impressive.
