(S/E) The hike starts on the quay after the boat docks. (See practical information on how to get to Porquerolles Island).
(1) Leave the port and stop at the information office to pick up a map of the island (useful in case you want to change the original itinerary). Continue south-east along Rue de l'Artisanat, then turn left onto Rue de la Douane.
At the first intersection, continue right towards Place d'Armes. Pass the post office and the church, then continue left on Chemin Sainte-Agathe just after the "Sainte-Anne" hotel restaurant. Follow the signs for Fort Saint-Agathe. At the intersection between the concrete Chemin Saint-Agathe and the gravel road, turn north-west towards the fort.
(2) After walking around Fort Saint-Agathe, return to the intersection and continue south-east towards the mill.
(3) Walk around Moulin du Bonheur, enjoying the view of the harbour and the mainland. Return to the path and continue south-east. At the crossroads, continue right, west on Chemin des Oliviers, towards Plage d'Argent. Walk along the olive groves to Carrefour des Oliviers, where there is a fire hydrant on the left.
(4) At this crossroads, continue left, heading south on Route du Phare. Continue until you reach the lagoon on your right.
(5) Turn left onto the path to the lighthouse, heading south-east.
(6) From the Porquerolles lighthouse, continue along the road for a hundred metres, then leave the lighthouse road and take a path on the left at the bend towards the Gorges du Loup.
At the intersection with the Gorge du Loup track, turn west towards the gorges.
(7) You can descend to the cove, taking every possible precaution, to swim and/or stop for lunch.
Then turn back to find the ridge trail that heads north towards Pointe du Brégançonnet and the Langoustier peninsula.
(8) Pass in front of the Calanques du Brégançonnet, stopping briefly to admire the view, then continue towards the Langoustier peninsula via the Eucalyptus trail.
(9) At the cistern, turn south-west onto the Piste des Langoustiers, which is wider and accessible to bicycles, to reach the peninsula. Turn right onto the Chemin du Col du Langoustier, walk for about 20 metres, then turn north-west onto the Chemin de la Pointe Sainte-Anne. Turn left and you will reach the Fort du Langoustier.
(10) Go around the fort and continue to Pointe Saint-Anne. Then retrace your steps to find the Pointe Sainte-Anne path and turn north towards Grand Langoustier beach.
Continue north on Chemin du Langoustier. Pass Calanque du Maure, then at the hairpin bend, take the path on the left that heads west towards Plage des Maures (you can skip this step by continuing on the wide gravel path, depending on how much time you have left to catch the boat). Then rejoin the wider path and continue east towards Plage d'Argent.
(11) Take a short break on the beach before heading back east along the Langoustier path towards the village of Porquerolles.
(12) At the intersection with Rue de la Ferme, turn left towards the port to find the pier (S/E).
