Description of the walk

Park in the available parking spaces before the barriers of the Domaine des Deux Collines (1).
Ignore the (S/E) sign located in the middle of the mobile homes.

(1) Cross the road and take the track reserved for firefighters (sign). Continue along this track and quickly take the small path that starts on the left. Walk along the Planes property and join the wide forest track further up.
Turn left and follow the slight incline to reach the water reservoir.

(2) Continue along this track, which in October is part of the Roc d'Azur trail. You will reach the crossroads at a place called Les Nicoles.

(3) Take the track on the left, which turns sharply, and descend slightly to reach another wide forest track. Take it on the left and you will reach another crossroads.

(4) Leave the track leading to Domaine de la Bergerie on your left and turn right, heading south, onto the track that joins the Fournel stream. Join this stream and follow it on its left bank to reach the ponds.

(5) Go through the barrier, join the D8 and turn left for a few metres. Be careful, as this is a very busy road with vehicles travelling at high speed.
Walk along the fence of the Domaine de la Bergerie to reach the access point to the Deux Collines.

(6) Turn left, then right and through the woods to reach the starting point (S/E) in the centre of the village.

Note: to return to the (1), stay on the access road to the Domaine des Deux Collines to find the car park.

In addition to the beautiful view of Dramont in the Verdon hinterland and Fréjus Bay,
this is an easy walk at this time of year and a botanist's delight in terms of flowers
and the surprise of seeing water in these often parched mountains.
Very old and magnificent oak trees in the last section before the ponds colonised by European pond turtles.
The only downside is the very end of the walk, which is dangerous and uninteresting as it runs alongside the road.

Hello,

A lovely walk for the whole family (Amandine, aged 5, and Simon, aged 10). We had a bit of trouble at the start because we followed the GPS instructions to find the starting point. It took us to the centre of a gated community made up of bungalows.
You have to park in a small car park outside the complex and head straight into the forest without following the GPS directions. At the end of the walk, the route also takes you along a road that is blocked and fenced off. We also had to walk along the main road for about 200 metres, which was quite dangerous as the cars drive like maniacs.
Apart from that, we still enjoyed this walk, which allowed us to get some fresh air in a beautiful setting and pick some thyme. The children even got to pet some goats.

We started the walk at point 6. There's no point in setting off from a place that's inaccessible by car (barriers with badge access) and prohibited. There's space along the road. It feels strange to trespass on private property! Difficult to find the right path after point 1. Rely on your satnav.
Otherwise, it's a peaceful walk. Views of Fréjus and the Esterel massif at the water reserve. Take water with you as you'll be in the sun the whole time.

We found this hike rather uninteresting, with very little shade. It's interesting for those who mainly want to walk, without expecting any interesting views. We might do it again, but on mountain bikes.

A wonderful discovery with beautiful views.
Easy parking with a second option: park on the D8 opposite the entrance to the Domaine des 2 Collines.

A short, peaceful walk, but not particularly interesting and raising a few questions.
The vast majority of the route is on tracks or tarmac roads and offers very few views. There are much better walks in the area, some of which have been posted by Bernardino.
The walk starts at a barrier with a sign saying "strictly no entry..." One might think that this refers to vehicles, but at the end of the path, another sign says "Private property - No entry". So have we crossed private property?
The path on the right between 6 and S/E is closed by a metal gate, which is itself locked with a padlock. Even though there is no fence on either side of this gate, we did not take this path and ended up on the road.
??? Why not place the starting point where it actually is, i.e. at 1? It would be less confusing and the GPS point for parking the vehicle would have the advantage of being easily reached and not located in a place that is inaccessible
by car.

A very pleasant walk! There are many paths offering different routes; beautiful views of the sea! But watch out for hunters, who also seem to enjoy the area....
