Esterel (Good Friday and Easter Saturday)

We arrived in Cannes (well Theoule-sur-Mer to be precise) in early afternoon Friday, had a spot of lunch and then headed up into the Esterel, following the route of the "VTT Rallye de Theoule". What an amazing place this is - so dry yet so green, very nice gradients for biking, and trails all over the place.







On Saturday we did another route from the 1001 Sentiers website which took us on a loop around Pic de l'Ours (the highest summit in the area). One of the allegedly "better" descents turned out to be a bit overgrown, but it was a great day out with ascents very well suited to MTBs (not too steep but narrow enough to still be interesting).
