Théoule Seafront
The start of the loop to the red rocks of the Pointe de l’Aiguille
The story
Théoule-sur-Mer sits on the western edge of the Bay of Cannes. This is where the Côte d’Azur ends and the Estérel corniches begin, with their purple porphyry rocks. The headlands run into the water like natural breakwaters. According to the department, in the year 69 the fleet of the Roman emperor Otho sheltered in the bay of Théoule. The trail runs east along the sea to the Pointe de l’Aiguille, the “Needle Point.”
