Corniche d'Or, Coastal road in Théoule-sur-Mer, France.
The Corniche d'Or extends for 45 kilometers along the Mediterranean coast between Fréjus and Cannes, featuring continuous sea views and red rock formations.
The construction of this coastal road began in 1903 under Abel Ballif's leadership, transforming an ancient customs officers' path into a modern transportation route.
The road represents a significant milestone in French transportation development, connecting the Var region to the Alpes Maritime region since its completion.
Multiple parking areas along the route provide access to viewpoints and beaches, with early morning visits recommended to avoid peak traffic hours.
During World War II, this road served as an emergency escape route for French troops retreating from advancing Italian forces.
