> ITINERARY
Climb the staircase leading to the chapel in the rock. Follow the path to the fountain (drinkable spring water). Take the footpath on the right for 50 m, then take the path that climbs up on the left.
About 600 m further on, turn sharp left.
Continue for around 800 m and, when you reach the Col, turn left to climb towards the red rocks of Cap Roux.
Admire exceptional views of the jagged coastline.
The path runs along this ledge and then leads to a new intersection.
On the left, the dead-end path takes you 100 m to the summit of Cap Roux and its orientation table (453 m altitude with views from Cannes to Cap Camarat).
Go back down the same path and turn left to continue the walk towards Cannes. Leave the sea side of Cap Roux and head gently down towards the Massif (do not take the paths leading off to the right) to find the fountain.
> VARIOUS: Just before returning to the fountain, a path climbs up on your left, after a few small steps, to the Sainte-Baume grotto where the hermit Saint Honoratus lived. (45-minute round trip).
Variant via the Col du Saint-Pilon (5 km, 470 ascent - yellow markings)
Caution! An aerial section on the way up to the cave and a rocky scree section on the last part of the way back.
