Discovery of the trail :
Located in the heart of the classified Estérel massif, the Grands Caous quarry invites you to discover its site via a secure landscaped path overlooking the quarry and offering you a panoramic view of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.

During your visit, we will present to you the industrial, environmental and historical aspects of a site which has been exploiting a unique and remarkable rock since 1959: the blue porphyry of Estérel. You will be surprised by its modern facilities, its commitment to sustainable development and its actions in terms of biodiversity. Following on from « Carrières du Dramont » (1864/1959), we will introduce you to the quarry profession and the major historical events that are inextricably linked to it (Malpasset dam / Second World War).

An atypical visit, full of surprises and discoveries in a wonderful natural setting!
