If you would like to discover a pretty spring in the South of France, I recommend a circular route starting from the Plateau, passing by the Oratoire de Miette, the Tumulus des Béguines and the Chemin de Rois.
You will discover the spring and its magnificent colours and the Castelette cave on the way back.

There is a long, steep descent, but the views are magnificent on both the Sainte-Baume and Sainte-Victoire sides. The forest surrounding the Gorges de l'Huveaune is cool and dense, and the yellow waterfalls in the riverbed are surprising. This is a short excursion into the Sainte-Baume forest.
a varied and challenging walk.

This is a variation on one of my previous hikes, From Saint-Zacharie to La Mouère, which takes a different path to a lovely viewpoint above Saint-Zacharie. In hot weather, walking under the trees for most of the route is very pleasant.

Departure from Saint-Zacharie (Var)
This is an unpretentious hike that allows you to discover the beautiful autumn landscapes near this peak overlooking Saint-Zacharie. Unfortunately, we were unable to climb this hill because part of the path is private and has been closed off. The GR®9A is completely inaccessible from the points (2) and (3) (perhaps the route will be modified at a later date).
