    After that, you will continue the ascent to the Grand Margès in a magnificent forest and then on the ridge overlooking the military testing area and its deserted expanses (under no circumstances should you leave the GR). Once you reach the summit, you will be overwhelmed by the 360° view that awaits you. The technical and long descent to Aiguines will then begin. Stay careful.
