A self-guided walk through mimosa plantations, views of the Estérel and activities at Lac de Saint-Cassien offer different ways to enjoy a stay in Tanneron. When choosing a hotel, it may help to consider whether you want to focus on trails, water activities, an insight into a local business or heritage.
Mimosa plantations and views
The Balade au cœur des Mimosa trail passes through mimosa plantations in the Tanneron area. It can be followed independently at any time; the average duration is 90 minutes. The Les Crêtes de Tanneron hike leads to ridges with panoramic views of the Estérel massif, including Pic de l'Ours and Mont Vinaigre. These offer two distinct options: a self-guided walk through the plantations and a hike with views of the Estérel.
Activities at Lac de Saint-Cassien
Lac de Saint-Cassien covers 420 hectares and stretches across Tanneron, Montauroux, Callian and Les Adrets de l’Estérel. Activities on the lake include pedal boating, canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and sailing. There are also adventure games and inflatable attractions. The selection therefore includes a range of water activities as well as other games and facilities. When planning your visit, consider which of these options best suits the experiences you are looking for at the lake.
A look inside a local business
FranceEucaMimosa offers booked 4x4 tours with breakfast at the family-run farm in Cague-Denier in Tanneron. Visitors get to know the farm and the mimosa-covered hills around it. They see how the farm operates, learn more about the producer's profession and then take home a bouquet. This experience differs from the self-guided Balade au cœur des Mimosa: it focuses on the drive, an insight into the work and an introduction to the producer's profession.
Cycling route and heritage
Cycle Route No. 4 runs along the north shore of Lac de Saint-Cassien towards the banks of the Siagne, the 12th-century Chapelle de Saint-Cassien-des-Bois and its restored mill. The mill was restored by youth work camps. The Chapelle de Saint Cassien des Bois was used for trade and for pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela. The chapel thus connects two historical themes: trade routes and pilgrimage.
Local produce
The Boutique de Terroir Oustaou dou Païs in Tanneron showcases products from local producers and craftspeople. These include garrigue or wild lavender honey, organic rosé and red wine, local biscuits and mimosa products. The selection may change. If you are looking for a particular product mentioned here, check its availability before your visit.
