Rocher de Roquebrune, Mountain peak in Roquebrune-sur-Argens, France.
Rocher de Roquebrune is a mountain peak in Provence that rises prominently above the Argens valley. From the summit, you can see across to Fréjus, the Estérel mountain range, and on clear days the distant Alps.
The mountain contains traces of Iron Age settlements and megalithic structures that indicate human habitation in ancient times. These archaeological remains show continuous occupation of the area throughout prehistory.
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 is moderately challenging and takes about two to three hours for the round trip. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water, especially on warm days.
The rock formation displays a reddish hue due to high iron oxide concentrations and is crossed by several geological faults. One notable geological curiosity is the narrow Saint Trou passage that runs between the rock walls.
