Solid mass of the estérel


 It is about a primary education solid mass eruptive, composed of Porphyry for its central part, doubled sandstone and layers
of clay on its coastal part. Its climax is the Mount Vinegar (616 meters).
 With the origin the solid mass was entirely covered with oaks lièges and greens, but the repeated fires destroyed
a good part of the vegetation. It should be noted that during the hot time, of many roads are closed,
to limit the fire hazards.
 The softness of the temperatures makes it possible tropical plants to thrive beside local plants
(Palm trees, Eucalyptus, Sisal plant, Mimosas - Olive-trees, Bay-trees, Heather .....).
 The Solid mass is distributed on three communes: Frèjus, St Raphaël, Adrets.
 Many excursions await you, for example: The small valley of Perthus, the small valley of the Evil Infernet, the Mount
Vinegar and the peak of Aurelle (Seen panoramic), the cave of the co. Balsam, beaches and splits coastal.
