Geocache Description:


The Col du Canadel (267 m) is the last hill before reaching the small town of Canadel. From the col you have a beautiful view over the Canadel bay and beyond.

When going down from the col to Canadel, you reach the small but nice beach of Rayol-Canadel that is much more quiet and relaxed than the beaches of Cavalair.

For the runners: try a run uphill from Canadel or from camp-hotel Panachaïd (the other side). It takes about 25-30 minutes and gives a good training of the upper legs.
The cache is a marked Tupperware-like box with a green lid wrapped in a grey garbage sack. It is hidden near the top of the col. From the cache you can't see the road, though it is only 20-25 m from the road. You have to clatter over some rocks.

The cache originally contained:
1 pair of sunglasses, 1 can-cap (bouchon canette), 1 shiny stone taken from the cache of the chateau de Grimaud, 1 rain & wind cover which runners use before the start (Fortis logo), 1 inflatable beachball.

We wish all geocachers much pleasure finding the cache and enjoying the surrounding.

En Français

Le Col du Canadel est la dernière colline avant d’arriver au village de Canadel. Du col, vous avez une belle vue sur la baie de Canadel et au-delà.
La cache est une boîte type-Tuppeware presque au sommet du col, sous une pierre. De la cache, vous pouvez voir la route car elle en est éloignée de 20-25m seulement. Il faudra soulever quelques pierres.
Nous espérons que les geocacheurs apprécieront cette cache et son environnement.
