Departure from Le Castellet (Var) (Var)
We have been using the small road between Le Brûlat and Sainte-Anne du Castellet for some time and wanted to explore the surrounding area. This modest walk allowed us to discover charming countryside planted with vines and olive trees, where absolute calm reigns. Please note that the entire route is on paved roads, as there are no accessible footpaths or tracks, but the small roads are very pleasant and not very busy. A getaway in a pretty plain surrounded by hills.
