Bras walks

Discover two rivers via beautiful green trails covered in flowers in spring, but watch out for mosquitoes. Enjoy the stunning Chute du Tombereau waterfall and cross vineyards and olive groves.

In search of old bridges over the Argens, passing through vineyards and forest.

From the Notre-Dame Chapel to the hamlet of Saint-Estève, the vineyard reveals itself in all its glory, from its history to its seasons, including its transformation. Developed by the Provence Verdon Community of Communes, the "Randonner Autrement" (Hiking Differently) project aims to introduce families to the natural heritage, the outlying built heritage, the landscapes and their evolution over time, as well as views of the villages, in an educational and fun way.

Follow the animal tracks, learn to recognise a few plant species and, above all, make sure you leave only a minimal footprint on this forest ecosystem. Developed by the Provence Verdon Community of Municipalities, the Randonner Autrement project aims to introduce families to the natural heritage, outlying built heritage, landscapes and their evolution over time, as well as views of the villages, in an educational and fun way.

A peaceful walk that starts in a shady valley, approaches the Rocher des Abeilles, and crosses the heath of the Var plateaus. Please note that fires ravaged this area during the summer of 2017.

In the heart of the Vallon Sourn, where the Argens river winds its way, this short circular walk will take you through the Défens forest near Les Bessillon, via the Vallon des Baumes and the Val Obscur. At the end of the walk, a refreshing dip in the Argens will do you good.

In hot weather, it is pleasant to walk along tree-lined paths and enjoy the coolness of the river. Today, I suggest you explore the Caramy Gorges on both banks and admire the chaotic rock formations of the Sauts du Cabri.Today's hike has been modified to take into account comments from the moderator and hikers. Obviously, avoid this hike after or during heavy rainfall.

A beautiful hike in the hills above Tourves.Remarkable view of the Saint-Maximin plain and the Montagne de la Loube.A wonderful encounter and visit to the Saint-Probace Chapel.

A beautiful hike with a fairly significant elevation gain in some places.

A lovely little family hike that takes you to Notre-Dame de Paracol. Beautiful views of all the surrounding hills.

Starting from Le Val, this circular route north of the village passes by the Saint-Cyriaque Chapel and then takes a detour to the magnificent 360° viewpoint from the Notre-Dame de Paracol Chapel. The return journey is via the Vallon des Flammes valley and then the vineyards.

This route offers views of most of the peaks of Provence with the Alps in the background.

A loop with three major points of interest: - the village of Pontevès and its ruined castle at the top of the village, - the climb up the Petit Bessillon, offering a beautiful view of the Var department, and its technical descent, - the return to Barjols via the Vallon des Carmes and its waterfalls (currently closed, see practical information). Unfortunately, the first hour of the hike is mainly on roads in order to complete the loop.

Easy hike to Lac de Carnier. Moderator’s note: route amended on 23/06/23 – starting point is now the Source des Treize Rais rather than the Le Val equestrian centre.

The Bessillons twins are weathered witnesses to history. Occupied during the Iron Age, they saw Pontevès develop during the Middle Ages and served as a refuge for Resistance fighters during theSecond World War.Developed by the Provence Verdon Community of Communes, the ‘Randonner Autrement’ project aims to introduce families to the natural heritage, out-of-the-way built heritage, the landscapes and how they have changed, as well as views over the villages.

The chapel overlooks the entrance to the Caramy Gorges next to Tourves. Saint Probace came to evangelise Provence in the1st century AD and is said to have died in Tourves. Perched on a hill that is quite difficult to access, we chose to approach it from the Route de Mazaugues, which is easier, to the west of Tourves.

A walk combining town and countryside with a visit to old Brignoles, a stroll through the vineyards, then a walk through Camps-la-Source, a pretty little Provençal village, the climb to the Chapelle Saint-Sébastien and, above all, the lovely view from the Rocher du Gueit.

The Castrum Saint-Jean is an iconic site in the village of Rougiers. We climbed up via an unofficial path and descended via a superb balcony path followed by a trail at the bottom of the valley.

This hike takes you to the ruins of Castrum Saint-Jean, 600 metres above sea level, on the spur of the hill overlooking the present-day village of Rougiers. Don't forget to visit the Guillandière spring in the communal woods, east of Saint-Jean hill.

One of three or four hiking routes that take in the beautiful site of Castrum Saint-Jean above Rougiers in the Var. This one passes via the Colline de Piégu, offering a fine viewpoint and the ruins of an ancient oppidum.

A beautiful hike starting from Les Rougiers at the foot of Sainte Baume, where you will discover historical sites dating from the Gallo-Roman period to the Middle Ages: the Piégu oppidum, the Fontaine de la Guillandiére, the Château Saint-Jean, the ruins of the fortified village and its troglodyte dwellings, and its 19th-century chapel.

This short hike allows you to discover a picturesque and unique medieval site, including beautiful views of the green Provence and the Pre-Alps. The ruined village is a remarkable example of dwellings built on the side of a cliff.
