Massif du Tanneron
- Tanneron is a quiet little village situated in the extreme east of Var, next to the Alpes Maritimes. It is the capltal of the
Tanneron Massif so well known for the abundance of its fine mimosa.
- This little village sits on the top of a hill in the middle of a huge forest of mimosa. Tanneron is at the eastern edge of the Var, next to
the village of Auribeau-sur-Siagne in the Alpes-Maritime. As lovely as this region is, Tanneron isn't a typical tourist site, and much of
the large population (of over 1000) reside in the surrounding area rather than in the center of the village, including in 13 nearby forest
hamlets.
- From different parts of the village sitting up on the hill, there is a view in nearly every direction, including all the way up the front
of the hills to the northeast past the "Baus" of Vence and St. Jeannet to the beginnings of the Alps.
- The small central village has a bread shop and grocery store and a couple of cafés. There's even a hairdressers, so you don't have
to drive down to the valley to get ready for your evening out.
Nearby sites include as waterfall (the Cascade de la Siagne) down the hill at St. Cassien to the northeast.
