Carqueiranne walks

This easy hike will take us around a temporary lake and to one of the viewpoints of Carqueiranne, following the paths of my childhood in the countryside surrounding this village, which has changed so much since then.

Three forts with very different destinies are the focus of this hike in the hills between Carqueiranne and Le Pradet. We will first climb gradually to the top of the Colle Noire hill, before returning to the terraced fields of Le Canebas, passing through the picturesque little port of Coupereau.

If you have an hour or two to spare, here is a short walk (tinged with a certain nostalgia) with no other pretensions than to discover or rediscover a corner of Carqueiranne that has not changed too much.

A short loop starting from the Garonne beach, reaching the summit of the Colle Noire via the Port des Oursinières, the Cap Garonne mine, the forts of Gavaresse and Colle Noire, and the Navicelle and Tibouren vineyards. To the west, there is a view of the Grande Rade, Notre-Dame du Mai and the Bec de l'Aigle; to the east, the Tombolo de Giens, the Îles d'Or, Brégançon and Cap Bénat.

Randonnée longue qui regroupe certaines des nombreuses possibilités du massif de la Colle Noire en une seule randonnée, alliant le bord de mer, les forts et le massif forestier tout en évitant au maximum les secteurs bitumés.

A loop starting from the Garonne beach, reaching the Fort de la Gavaresse via the Port des Oursinières, the Cap Garonne mine, and the Navicelle and Tibouren vineyards.

Starting from the port of Les Oursinières in Le Pradet, here is a short loop towards La Gavaresse via "Mauvalon". The "Baisse du Comte", a promontory with a superb view, can be reached via well-maintained but not overly frequented paths.

This hike combines physical activity with culture. It will take us on a journey of discovery through the ruins of Hyères Castle. The local council has installed information panels on the site, allowing us to imagine what life was like in those days. Before that, this beautiful walk will take us to the recently renovated Notre-Dame du Fenouillet Chapel.

Beautiful hike around the Giens peninsula by the beach path.

This fairly challenging route in the first part offers a loop that takes you all the way around the Giens Peninsula.

Walking along the western part of the Giens Peninsula on the coastal path is a feast for the eyes, with a succession of islets, coves and beaches, sometimes appearing behind the branches of tall pine trees.This is a fairly challenging route that follows some spectacular trails.

In a private estate where walkers, cyclists and horse riders are welcome, you will have access to a magnificent Provençal setting, with an 18th-century château at the heart of its 160-hectare vineyard, and you will walk alongside the banks of the River Gapeau and its tributaries, the Petit Real and the Jonquière. This circular route is suitable for families.

A superb hike at the tip of the Giens peninsula offering magnificent views of Porquerolles Island and the coast.

This route will take you up to Solliès-Ville and then past the Notre-Dame du Deffens Chapel. On the way back, you will follow the bed of an old stream.

A pretty loop with no particular difficulties, on tracks, among oak and arbutus trees in the Maures mountains.

A nice climb to the top of Coudon (altitude 702 m) near Toulon.

A natural asset exploited by the local glass industry. A route through woodland where you will see the remains of dwellings, wells, sand and stone quarries, and former industry, near the derelict hamlet of Les Olivières.

A walk through holm oaks to the Revest lake viewpoint passing by a cave which can be visited.
