Fort du Mont Alban, a 16th-century hilltop fort in remarkable condition, stands as one of the most striking viewpoints along the French Riviera. Located near Cannes, this historic site offers panoramic views that, on clear days, extend as far as Corsica. Visitors can reach the fort by walking up from Nice or Villefranche-sur-Mer. Once at the top, the stone walls and strategic layout reveal its significance as a key landmark of the former States of Savoy. Today, the fort provides a unique opportunity to explore its well-preserved structures and soak in the breathtaking vistas.
