Rocher de Roquebrune, Mountain peak in Roquebrune-sur-Argens, France.
The Rocher de Roquebrune rises 373 meters above the Argens valley, offering views of Fréjus, the Estérel mountains, and the distant Alps.
The mountain contains traces of Iron Age settlements, megalithic remains, and fortified camps, indicating continuous human presence throughout ancient times.
Three crosses sculpted by artist Bernar Venet in 1991 stand at the summit, inspired by crucifixion paintings from Giotto, Grünewald, and El Greco.
The hike to the summit covers 6 kilometers with a 350-meter elevation gain, requiring approximately two and a half hours to complete the round trip.
The reddish color of the rock formation comes from high iron oxide concentrations, with numerous faults including the narrow Saint Trou passage.
