Departure from Collobrières (Var)
A very pleasant loop trail allowing you to visit the menhirs of the Plateau de Lambert, dating from between 5,000 and 7,000 years ago. There is a majestic chestnut tree stump near the forest house. This almost thousand-year-old chestnut tree stump is attributed to Madame de Sévigné, who came to the Plateau Lambert farm to relax and recharge her batteries at the foot of the chestnut trees. It burned down in the 1980s.

Varied, wild vegetation and exceptional views punctuate this route, which starts in Collobrières (capital of the Maures) and leads to La Garde Freinet, the highest village in the Massif des Maures.
