Gapeau (fleuve) walks

This walk takes you through the Aiguilles de Valbelle site, with its rocky peaks rising out of the forest. Beautiful forest tracks, a few footpaths and the Chartreuse Notre-Dame de Montrieux (which cannot be visited).

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.

A short hike for short days. A large cave that serves as a shelter with a table and chairs. Moderator's note : some paths have become problematic on this old hike. See reviews.

The hike begins with a walk through the pretty village of Belgentier. It then climbs via theGR®9and 51 trails through oak and pine woods to the Pas de Belgentier. The trail heads south, offering magnificent views and some geological curiosities. The descent to the village is steep, along steep paths, and ends with a beautiful, partially stone-paved path in a pretty valley.

Magnificent views of the Hyères Islands and the Southern Alps.

Discover a small path which, after a steep climb, leads to the Solliès-Ville orientation table. Moderator update on 14/12/2020: Please note! Accessibility issue at the start of the route. See reviews.

This circular route passes through several areas formerly used by charcoal burners, several boundary markers erected in the 19th century, and the Chartreuse de Montrieux-le-Jeune. There is a panoramic viewpoint stretching from La Loube mountain to Mont Coudon. From there, you can see a unique set of ridge-shaped rocks. Most of the hike takes place in the undergrowth, crossing an oak forest with some remarkable specimens, then ending along the cool banks of the Gapeau, which are so pleasant to walk along in summer. A GPX track is required for this route.

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.
