Tour de la Marbriere
Pleasant hike on the sunny foothills of Caussols
Escape the town of Grasse an climb up to 895m to gain an amazing view point over the town and the Siagne basin.
The area is well know for perfume, and since the early 19th century the banks of the Var have been specialising in the cultivation of fragrant plants. Jasmine, tuberose, may rose and violet make up a large percentage of the plants seen here.

Directions
From the parking near the tennis court cross the road and head north via a path on the westward side of the courts. The path goes through dense forest then comes out and joins a dirt road. Follow the road north and after 2 sharp bends follow the road around to the east. Head towards the highest point, 895m. There is a small path to the right just after the dirt road joins another. There are also some ruins.
After stopping to take in the view follow a south east direction from the highest point and start to head downhill. The path continues, in and out of the forest, then meets a road, Chemin du Champ de Tir. Turn right and continue down the road. Keeping to this road will lead you back to the tennis courts and the parking.
