Bauroux, Mountain summit in Séranon, France

Located in the Alpes-Maritimes department, Bauroux reaches an elevation of 1,644 meters, dominating the surrounding valleys with its limestone formations and Mediterranean vegetation.

Archaeological evidence reveals that caves at the base of Bauroux's rock formations served as shelters during the Neolithic period, indicating early human settlement.

The mountain stands along the historic RD 6085 route, where Napoleon Bonaparte made a strategic stop at Brondet Castle during his 1815 campaign.

The ascent to Bauroux summit requires a 700-meter elevation gain, with the hiking trail starting from Séranon and taking approximately 5 hours to complete.

The mountain displays a distinct contrast between its barren rocky southern face and its northern slope covered by the dense Défens forest.
