Signal de la Sauvette, Mountain summit in the Maures massif, Var, France

Signal de la Sauvette is the highest point of the Maures massif at 776 metres, in the Var department of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, on the territory of Collobrières. At the summit a low, broad outcrop of grey and pale brown metamorphic rock rises slightly above the soil, split into a flatter slab on the left and a rounded mass on the right, its rough surface cracked and patched with lichen. Low vegetation surrounds it, with forested hills and distant mountains beyond.

The mountain's structure formed during the Paleozoic era through ancient geological processes that shaped southeastern France. This rock composition reflects the long history of mountain building and folding in the region.

The summit marks the highest point of the Maures massif, at 776 metres, on the land of Collobrières in the Var. Walkers use it as a landmark when crossing the range, and the name Sauvette is the one carried by the peak on maps of the massif.

The hike typically begins from Collobrières village and requires sturdy footwear and a good water supply. Pay attention to weather conditions since the upper slopes are exposed and conditions can change quickly.

On clear days, you can see both the Mediterranean Sea and the inland mountain ridges from this vantage point. This dual perspective makes it a rare spot for viewing landscapes in opposite directions.
