Forêt Domaniale de l'Estérel

I found the most amazing hiking spot down the coast from Mandelieu at Forêt Domaniale de l'Estérel. This picturesque place is a treasure trove of natural beauty. There's a small island just off the main shore that has an ornate little castle on it. The beach is rocky, but the stones are big enough to make sitting on them comfortable. The mountain is high but the hike is not too steep, making it an enjoyable trek. There are so many nooks and crannies to explore in this place, perfect for anyone looking for a little hiking aventure.
Sunset on the peaks of the mountain overlooking the sea is the most stunning site I've found in France. It's a perfect place for a romantic picnic or fun with friends. Although it's farther down the coast from the bustling center cities of Nice, Monaco and Cannes; for me it is a must see.
