Gonfaron walks

A beautiful hike in the Maures mountains, with the ascent of Notre-Dame des Anges. The 360° panorama includes views of the Hyères islands, the Collobrières valley, the Maures plain and Sainte-Baume.

A pleasant hike with little elevation gain, suitable for children. The woods offer plenty of good spots for picnics.

Route starting from Carnoules with a detour to Puget-Ville at Grand Vallat and Pas de la Foux and to Besse-sur-Issolle near the solar panels.

The Grande Traversée des Maures, Montem Maurum described in the Middle Ages, has never been attempted. This "diagonal of the Maures" allows us to discover magnificent Provençal landscapes. 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.

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.

An easy walk in the Massif des Maures. Beautiful trails, rivers, streams, lakes and unique terrain. Not to mention the cork oaks, characteristic of the massif, and a varied flora (dwarf irises, anemones, orchids, etc.). Moderator's addition on 22/11/2021 Hike currently impossible due to a fire and the need to preserve nature. See comments at the bottom of this page. Addition at the end of 2023: see the Practical Information section.

Short hike in the Provençal countryside before climbing up to see the remains of the Oppidum de Meren and ending with a magnificent view of Vieux Cannet and the Argens plain.

Vieux Cannet des Maures, a village of character that is well worth a visit. Entraygues, its inaccessible Saint-Michel cave chapel and the natural arches of the Argens. Following a joint decision (operator, municipalities, etc.), the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Conservatory of Natural Areas has therefore prohibited access to this cave chapel. See § During the hike or nearby.

A short loop in the heart of the Maures forest to admire the Menhirs de Lambert. Part of the route is on a paved road (but closed to traffic) and wide forest tracks.

A circular loop in the heart of the Forêt des Maures, where you can admire the Chartreuse de la Verne and the Menhirs du Plateau Lambert.

I suggest a walk that will take you to the Lambert Plateau on a shaded route along the Verne.

A beautiful hike, a little difficult due to the steep inclines, but which leads to splendid panoramic views in the Forêt des Maures.

Thefirst half of this hike is a variation of the Pierrefeu - La Portanière hike published on this website. Take the Chemin de Sauvecanne to reach the southern ridge of the Vallon Loubier. Join the ridge trail and take the Piste du Fédon. The return journey presents no particular difficulties and the scenery is magnificent.

A circular hike in the Massif des Maures, surrounded by cork oak forests.Lush vegetation with beautiful views of eastern Toulon.You will follow part of theGR®®51trail known as "Le Balcon de la Méditerranée" (The Balcony of the Mediterranean).

A short loop with superb views, to be done before or after visiting the charterhouse.

A walk through the crests of the Maures forest. A breathtaking landscape taking in the Mediterranean and the Alps.
