What travellers are saying

As you drive along this coastal road it is like driving through the red wind cut rocks of the Arizona desert, but you have the Mediterranean Sea to one side.

Beautiful walk in Esterel, stunning views on the coast, despite of rain, we really enjoyed a fresh air and peace as it's very off beaten track.

I’ve been trying to get my navigation system to route me along this amazing road between Frejus/Saint-Raphael and Cannes for some time, but it keeps routing me through some comparatively ugly inland mountain road.

Great outdoor fun!

Saw lots just driving. Took the kids for a little hike near the top. Beautiful. Also saw wild boars, be careful they can be dangerous!

Stunning, beautiful, other worldly

Go and see for yourself, the Massif d’Esterel is criss crossed with waking/cycling routes. Stop off at the Tourist Information Office in Agay and grab a few walking route maps and then take off! Walking or cycling is the way. But beware, the roads to...More

Great views from trail, a bit steep though

We took the hike up the path to the top of the hill and got some great views of the rocks, harbors and surrounding towns. The path is steep and if you take it to the top, somewhat long.

An amazing plce for walking and lovely dramatic countryside

We walk here often, between Theoule, Miramar, up to Col de Theoule, and visit Notre Dame Africa. There are so many routes that you could spend months exploring

Amazing coastal road...but be warned.

We drove from Fréjus to Cannes along the coast (no GPS for once, just following our noses). The views are absolutely spectacular but as a driver, you will spend much of your time with your eyes glued to the road. It is generally narrow with...More

We will be in the area for 5 days. Which are the best 3 drives east or west of Nice? Is the Grand Corniche better going east to west or the reverse? What would be the best route to experience all 3 corniches? Unfortunately, the Grand Prix will be on so we will avoid Monaco. Will the corniches be very busy or will tourists be watching the race? After 3 nights in Nice, which town to the east would you recommend for a 2 night stay? BJB

BJB, Sorry not an expert but the D559 is the coastal road, she is narrow, windy, one lane each way and I did it east to west but reverse would be better I think ? Easier to pull up at good points ? If the GP is on maybe... More
