The story

The Dent de l’Ours, the “Bear’s Tooth,” is a rhyolite rock, red volcanic stone, about 417 meters above sea level. At its foot stand little stone cairns in a land-art spirit. From here you can see the Bay of Cannes with the Lérins Islands, and on the other side the Bay of Fréjus and the Maures hills in the distance. Next, go back a little and climb to the foot of the transmitter on the summit.
