The walk starts and ends at the tourist office car park. Arrive early as the Mediterranean Garden attracts large crowds during the day.
(S/E) Follow the D559 towards Cavalaire and after 50 metres, climb the beautiful staircase to the circular "Pateck".
Follow the signs to Col de l'Étoile for 40 minutes. Follow Rue d'Aix les Bains, then Avenue Clément Bayard on the right and Corniche de Genève.
(1) At Col de l'Étoile, take the right-hand track (FP331/RF33) which passes close to a place called Le Drapeau, clearly visible on its promontory. Enjoy panoramic views of the entire bay, the Îles d'Or and the hinterland.
(2) Continue to the Col du Canadel. You are now 1 hour into your hike and have covered 2 km; the hardest part is behind you.
(3) At the pass, take the private road Les Crêtes (no vehicles) for 200 metres until you reach the start of the "A322 La Louve" track.
(4) Go down to the left and follow it until you reach a barrier. Take the Boulevard des Pins road on the left. You are halfway there. Follow the boulevard, leaving two streets on your right.
(5) At No. 38 Boulevard des Pins, take the road on the left. This road climbs slightly for 50 metres to reach the Corniche de la Louve. Turn left at the crossroads which takes you to the D559.
(6) Cross the D559 carefully, continue for about 50 metres on the left, then take the lane on the right, Chemin de l'Écuelle.
(7) At the crossroads, turn left onto the old railway line, which has been converted into a greenway.
(8) At the crossroads, take the second road on the right, Avenue de France, to descend to Plage du Canadel, one of the landing beaches in Provence, where the African Commandos landed on 12 August 1944. Then go up the first avenue on the left to rejoin the green track. Turn right onto the latter.
(9) Go around a short section of secured landslide for a moment. This detour will take you back to the green track, which you continue to follow.
(10) Leave the green track and turn left. Turn right at the first intersection, then go up the "Degrés du Centre" stairs to the car park (S/E).
