To celebrate the blossoming of the little yellow flower, Saint-Raphaël, located at km 59 of the Route, offers activities in the Massif de l'Estérel to enjoy the sweet fragrance of the mimosa.
Saint-Raphaël and its 36 km of coastline will take you from its waterfront town center to the harbors and secret coves of Boulouris, the Île d'Or and the Agay roadstead. While the Corniche d'Or, carved out of the rock, overlooks the extraordinarily transparent seabed.
The 130 km Route du Mimosa stretches from Bormes-Les-Mimosas to Grasse. This tourist route is typically the symbol of a winter Côte d'Azur that offers, in a mild climate, a kind of itinerant holiday between azure blue and sunny yellow.
A wide range of activities are on offer during this period:
● Hiking: discover the Massif de l'Estérel on foot with a guided walk on the theme of mimosa at the Lacs des Péguières.
With Rando Paca: February 9, 11, 18, 25 and 27, 2026 at 9:00 am and 2:00 pm.
● Estérel excursion by minibus: discover the Massif and the mimosa with an experienced guide! He'll take you to the most beautiful flowering spots in l'Estérel, on foot or in a minivan, to admire the mimosa in these unique volcanic landscapes. The little extra? A mimosa confit tasting during the tour!
With Passion Estérel. From February 9 to March 2, 9am to 12pm or 2pm to 5pm.
● Coach excursions in the Massif du Tanneron.
Discover the massifs in bloom. Departure via the Corniche d'Or towards Mandelieu and the Massif du Tanneron, France's largest area planted with mimosa trees.
