Siou Blanc-l'Impluvium d'Orves-Pyramide de Cassini-L'Arche de la Garoute
This hike will take you across the Siou Blanc plateau. First, head south towards the Impluvium d'Orves, the Pyramide de Cassini and its fabulous view of Mont Caume and the Rade de Toulon, as well as the Grand Cap. Then head north overlooking the Gapeau valley to discover the Arche de la Garoute hidden in the woods of the Morières-Montrieux national forest.
The Cassini Pyramid and the Grand Cap via the Ravin du Cierge and the Revest
Choose a clear day (avoid the strong, cold mistral) for the view from the summit and set off to explore this remarkable geodetic point, the Pyramid erected by Cassini in the 18th century. Magnificent 360° views from the summit of the Grand Cap, the Pre-Alps, the Îles d’Hyères and towards La Ciotat. The approach via the Ravin du Cierge is a bit of a challenge: stony with a 400-metre climb. The effort is well rewarded at the summit. The return is a more comfortable descent.
