Mont Faron, Limestone mountain summit in Toulon, France.
Mont Faron rises 584 meters above sea level, with steep cliffs and a narrow road that winds through its limestone formations.
The mountain peak features a memorial commemorating the 1944 Allied landings in Provence and the subsequent liberation of Toulon during World War II.
The annual Paris-Nice and Tour Méditerranéen cycling competitions include Mont Faron's challenging road as one of their notable racing segments.
Visitors can reach the summit via a cable car system from Toulon or drive along a one-way road that ascends from the west and descends on the east.
The mountain houses a specialized zoo covering 1.5 hectares near its peak, focusing on breeding and protecting endangered big cats.
