The Grotte de Mueron and Gorges du Blavet in Bagnols-en-Forêt
A stroll in an exceptional place, discovering the gorges of the river Blavet and the cave of Mueron which was inhabited in the Bronze Age.
Ideal in summer and on warmer days, avoid periods of heavy rain.
Red trail at the Blavet site
Nestled among vineyards and pine trees, La Bouverie is a pretty residential neighbourhood and the green heart of Roquebrune-sur-Argens. At the foot of the majestic Gorges du Blavet, where the red rock of the Estérel rises in steep cliffs, hiking trails lead in the footsteps of Homo Bouvérien. Archaeologists have recognised that the Roquebrune-sur-Argens area has been continuously inhabited throughout prehistoric times. The caves of La Bouverie are the earliest evidence of this.
Walk through the Blavet Gorges in Bagnols-en-Forêt
Carved into red volcanic rock, the gorges offer beautiful geological features such as the Grotte de Muéron, one of the major climbing sites in the Var, and at the heart of this hike. At the foot of one of these many cliffs, you will find the prehistoric Muéron cave, which was occupied 10,000 years BC. From its very wide entrance, it extends deep into the rock and still provides shelter from storms today. Its proximity to the Blavet river and forests (a source of fuel), its southern exposure and its commanding view of the valley made it possible to follow wild herds and made it particularly attractive for camps during the Bronze Age.

Coastal path between Saint-Raphaël and Le Dramont
From Saint-Raphaël station, head to the seafront and follow the coastal path to Dramont. The red rock coastline dotted with small coves and beautiful sandy and pebble beaches with turquoise waters is a feast for the eyes.
Please note that this coastal path is not really a path. The route mainly follows the rocks with the help of steps.
From the Port of Santa Lucia to the Port of Agay, via the coastal path
Connecting the two ports of Saint-Raphaël via the eastern coastal path is said to be one of the most beautiful coastal routes on the French Riviera. While the charm of this walk is undeniable, it is important to note that it is challenging and not accessible to everyone. There is no real path, facilities are minimal, and the route often resembles a beautiful scramble among the rocks. But while it is possible to get your feet wet if you misjudge the time it takes to cross certain passages at the mercy of a playful wave, there is no risk of getting lost as the yellow markings are excellent. And what a joy it is to look out over the entire route and beyond from the top of Le Dramont.
Please note that part of the Dramont bypass is currently impassable due to a landslide. Use the nearby forest paths to reach the tip of Camp Long.
