(S/E) The walk starts on the quay after the boat has docked. (See practical information on how to get to the Île de Porquerolles).
(1) Leave the port and stop at the information office to pick up a map of the island (useful in case you wish to change the original route). Continue south-east along Rue de l’Artisanat, then turn left into Rue de la Douane.
At the first junction, turn right towards Place d’Armes. Walk past the post office and the church, then turn left onto Chemin Sainte-Agathe just after the “Sainte-Anne” hotel-restaurant. Follow the signs for Fort Saint-Agathe. At the junction between the concrete Chemin Saint-Agathe and the stony path, turn north-west towards the Fort.
(2) After walking around Fort Saint-Agathe, return to the junction and continue south-east towards the mill.
(3) Walk around the Moulin du Bonheur, enjoying the view of the harbour and the mainland. Return to the path and continue south-east. At the crossroads, turn right, heading west along the Chemin des Oliviers, towards Plage d’Argent. Walk alongside the olive groves until you reach the Carrefour des Oliviers, where there is a fire hydrant on the left.
(4) At this junction, turn left and head due south along the Route du Phare. Continue until you reach the lagoon on your right.
(5) Turn left onto the Chemin du Phare, heading south-east.
(6) From the Porquerolles Lighthouse, continue along the road for a hundred metres, then leave the Route du Phare and take a path on the left at the bend towards the Gorges du Loup.
At the junction 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 rejoin the ridge path which heads north towards Pointe du Brégançonnet and the Langoustier peninsula.
(8) Walk past the Calanques du Brégançonnet, stopping briefly to admire the view, then continue towards the Langoustier peninsula via the Piste des Eucalyptus.
(9) At the cistern, turn south-west onto the Piste des Langoustiers, a wider track suitable for bikes, to reach the peninsula. Turn right onto the Chemin du Col du Langoustier, walk for about twenty metres, then head north-west until you reach the Chemin de la Pointe Sainte-Anne. Turn left and head towards Fort du Langoustier.
(10) Walk around the fort and continue to Pointe Saint-Anne. Then retrace your steps to rejoin the Chemin de la Pointe Sainte-Anne, then turn north towards Grand Langoustier beach.
Continue north on the Chemin du Langoustier. Pass the Calanque du Maure, then at the hairpin bend, take the path on the left which heads west towards Plage des Maures (you can skip this section by continuing along the wide stony path depending on how much time you have left to catch the boat). Then rejoin the wider path and continue eastwards towards Plage d’Argent.
(11) Take a short break on the beach before heading back along the Chemin du Langoustier eastwards towards the village of Porquerolles.
(12) At the junction with Rue de la Ferme, turn left towards the harbour to reach the jetty (S/E).
