At an altitude of 488m and so close to the sea, the Pic de l'Ours offers an impressive view of the coastline of the Esterel massif. Formed by volcanic eruptions 250 million years ago, the red rock of the Esterel massif is recognizable among all.

Our Lady of Africa

Highlight • Monument

This statue is 12 m high and was created by the sculptor Fortuné EVANGELISTI. The origin of this idea is the original model, which is located in the Basilica of St. Eugene in Algiers on the African continent. The sculpture and its orientation are intended to represent the symbiosis between the two Mediterranean coasts. The shape, design and crown are characteristic of this. This unique work is a retreat for meditation and communication. After the foundation stone was laid in 1990, the monument was completed in 2000 and dedicated to the original in Algeria. The foundation stone was laid in 1990 on a piece of land that was made available by the "Monument to Our Lady" association as part of a long-term lease. Those named are those, living or deceased, who wish to commemorate their affiliation and their roots.
