Bormes-les-Mimosas walks

Circuit overlooking the Var coast above Bormes-les-Mimosas.

The beautiful view of the harbour from the village is very charming, but what can be said about the view from the top of Notre-Dame de Constance, 160 metres higher up?

This hike leads around Bormes-les-Mimosas, and the flowering mimosas in particular.

An easy hike starting from Super Lavandou and following the Chemin du Bargidon. Exceptional views throughout the hike over the bay of Bormes and Le Lavandou, the Hyères islands and even as far as Toulon. When you reach the Route des Crêtes, the view becomes sublime!

A somewhat challenging hike from Le Lavandou to La Plage de la Fossette via the coastal path. Walk along a rocky trail with several views of the coastline.

A short, easy walk starting from the Trapan Dam and along the ridges between Bormes and La Londe, with magnificent panoramic views.

Circuit in the Massif des Maures, between narrow paths and wide tracks, passing by the Sommet du Bœuf and the Collobrières weather radar.

Park in the car park next to the town hall annex and the post office. A superb view and a good little climb, a bit too much tarmac for me. Very well signposted, it's a superb loop.

This loop hike in the Maures mountains includes a visit to the Gauttobry dolmen, a listed monument. Superb view of the Hyères salt marshes.

Superb out-and-back coastal hike on the sentier du littoral between La Londe-les-Maures and Brégançon. Many beaches along the way.

A short loop in the heart of the Maures forest to admire the Menhirs de Lambert. Part of the route is on a paved road (but closed to traffic) and wide forest tracks.

A very pleasant loop trail allowing you to visit the menhirs of the Plateau de Lambert, dating from between 5,000 and 7,000 years ago. There is a majestic chestnut tree stump near the forest house. This almost thousand-year-old chestnut tree stump is attributed to Madame de Sévigné, who came to the Plateau Lambert farm to relax and recharge her batteries at the foot of the chestnut trees. It burned down in the 1980s.

A walk through the crests of the Maures forest. A breathtaking landscape taking in the Mediterranean and the Alps.

A short loop with superb views, to be done before or after visiting the charterhouse.

A pleasant hike in the countryside and a visit to the Chartreuse de la Verne. You can also access this hike by taking the ST Julien path (on the left at the first traffic lights when coming from Toulon). The dam area is no longer accessible by car. Park before the barrier on the right-hand side of the road near a small wood and continue on foot to the dam.
