Massif de Tanneron, Upland region near Cannes, France.

The Massif de Tanneron extends across southeastern France with steep slopes, Mediterranean vegetation, and natural rock formations spanning over 150 square kilometers.

The geological formation of Massif de Tanneron dates back millions of years as part of the Pyrenean-Provence fold-thrust belt that shaped the current landscape.

Local communities in the massif maintain traditional agricultural practices, including the cultivation of mimosa trees that create winter gardens across the slopes.

Visitors can access the massif through multiple entry points from Cannes or Grasse, with dedicated parking areas and marked trails throughout the region.

The massif contains the largest mimosa forest in Europe, producing yellow blossoms between January and March across its elevated terrain.
