The little pointed brother of the Esterel
In the shadow of the great Mont Vinaigre, Mont Aigre stands like a well-kept secret, ideal for a charming family hike.
Although more modest in height, this “little brother” has something to seduce: an accessible climb and breathtaking panoramas.
The origin of the name “Aigre”: sharp and pointed
In the 14th century, a sculpted larch roof replaced the originally planned heavy stone vault, creating a unique ceiling, where fantastical creatures, saints, and scenes of daily life captivate the eye, offering a fascinating view of the medieval imagination. Among these motifs, the fleur-de-lis, symbol of Charles of Anjou, recalls Fréjus' attachment to the Provençal crown and the history of France.
A hike to enjoy in all simplicity
Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned hiker, Mont Aigre awaits you.
A gentle climb and easy-to-follow trails for a natural break just a few steps from the city.
Here, nature is savored slowly, your gaze lost between the mountains and the sea.
Mont Aigre is a return to the source, a place of contemplation and discovery for young and old.
So, put on your walking shoes and set off to conquer this hidden treasure of the Esterel.
