The Esterel massif, located in the Var region of France, is renowned for its unique rock formations called lithophyses. These superb structures were formed millions of years ago during intense volcanic activity. Molten magma cooled rapidly on contact with seawater, creating cavities in the rock. Over time, erosion has shaped these cavities into spectacular forms, with shades of color ranging from red to pink. Today, the lithophyses of the Esterel massif attract many visitors and geology enthusiasts alike, offering impressive testimony to the region's geological history.
