Good route, very popular, exceptional scenery. I find a few signposts and also litter, as hikers tend to throw their packaging everywhere. It's a shame.

Recommended route for anyone wishing to discover a land and sea trail, with beaches and an ancient salt marsh dating back to the 10th century... A little information for parents wishing to accompany their children during the summer: certain areas of Pentagone beach are frequented by nudists.

A beautiful walk along the beach and the sea on one side, with views of the islands of Hyères and Giens, and on the other side, the old salt marshes of Hyères with their fascinating and unusual flora and fauna, which are easy to observe (glasswort, egrets, flamingos, cormorants, curlews, ducks, small birds and small fish). The trail is very beautiful as it is bordered by enclosures containing a few pine trees and flower beds, as well as running alongside the sea and salt marshes on either side. The section at La Londe les Maures is a little less interesting. There is no elevation gain and it is fairly quick to complete.

I've done this hike several times. It's more interesting between October and March because it's greener, there are more birds in the marshes and, above all, there are fewer people

In January, there weren't many people around and the weather was perfect. We stayed along the beach, which was nicer.

Thanks for sharing,
The seaside section is magnificent, the section along the canal, especially on the way back, less so.
A long but easy walk. No difficulty parking at the beginning of November.

The route is very easy and pleasant, as evidenced by the large number of visitors.
We took a guided tour with an ornithologist from the Pesquiers salt marshes (La Capte) in the morning and hiked through the old salt marshes in the afternoon. We were able to see the rich flora and fauna of this place with a more discerning eye. Highly recommended.

The route starts at the seaside, where you can go swimming and, for those who are into it, there's a nudist beach. You then arrive at the port of La Londe des Maures, which has lots of restaurants and bistros. You then follow a river back to the seaside and return to the starting point. You can do a round trip to La Londe in about two hours instead of three hours for the full loop. A superb ride.

A visit to the Gaoutabry dolmen is a classic outing in the London hinterland. A previously published hike accessed it from the Tamary valley.

This route is a variation of the excellent Les Deuxièmes Borels route, which is also featured on the website. It is still, and I quote, a "lovely circular path with no particular difficulty, among the oak and arbutus trees in the Massif des Maures, with beautiful views of the sea and the islands". This H variant extends the beautiful part on the track, at altitude and with views, and shortens the descent into the forest. See the practical information for details of this variant.

The Grande Traversée des Maures, or "Montem Maurum" as it was described in the Middle Ages, has never been attempted. This "diagonal route through the Maures" takes us through magnificent Provençal landscapes. A varied, wild vegetation and exceptional views punctuate this route. This adventure begins in Hyères (former Templar commandery) and ends in Collobrières (capital of the Maures) during the first stage.
