                This is an easy walk with beautiful views of the Mediterranean coastline and the Îles du Levant, Port Cros and Porquerolles. It is a rare walk along this stretch of coastline that is not covered in concrete.

                This is a short loop offering beautiful views of the Mediterranean coast on varied and sometimes challenging terrain.
The trail starts among beautiful villas with sea views, then follows a balcony path above the coastline to a lovely beach, and returns via an old railway line.
This walk is best suited to sure-footed walkers who are not afraid of tackling the climbs right from the start.

                A beautiful loop where you can enjoy all the scents of Mediterranean flora and magnificent views throughout the hike.

                This loop takes you along a narrow, steep and sometimes rugged coastal path, but the turquoise waters and unspoilt wildlife of the two headlands are well worth the detour.

                To the south of the Saint-Tropez peninsula lies a vast natural area with virtually no housing. Only a few forest tracks and rare paths criss-cross this protected natural site dotted with steep hills and a few valleys where vines flourish. All around, the Mediterranean Sea laps against a preserved shoreline, where a few beaches protected by Cap Lardier and Cap Taillat invite you to take a refreshing break.

An ideal getaway for lovers of heritage, tranquillity and southern charm.

                Park in the car park next to the town hall annex and the post office. A superb view and a good little climb, a bit too much tarmac for me. Very well signposted, it's a superb loop.

                This walk begins on the bustling quays of Saint-Tropez, where the hulls of boats dance to the rhythm of the reflections. We walk along the jetty to the lighthouse, a red sentinel facing the horizon, before returning along the seafront, between sunny terraces and pastel-coloured façades. Then, you climb up to the old town, with its cobbled streets, flower-filled balconies and memories of a fishing village that has become legendary. An easy circular loop, between sea splashes and Provençal memories, ideal for strolling along the water's edge and through time.
