St. Jean de L'Esterel in Cote d'Azur

Away from the hustle and bustle of Cannes, the charming, unspoilt village of St Jean de l'Esterel enjoys a breathtaking mountain setting. The panorama from here is simply stunning - take one of the signposted walks and admire the dramatic red rocks and sparkling Mediterranean on the horizon, or watch climbers scale the Baou St. Jeannet rock face which stands majestically over the village. Wander the winding medieval streets and shop for local olive oil, cheese and wine, or take a drive to neighbouring Vence to browse the traditional market.
