Hyères walks

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.

This easy hike will take us around a temporary lake and to one of the viewpoints of Carqueiranne, following the paths of my childhood in the countryside surrounding this village, which has changed so much since then.

A pretty loop with no particular difficulties, on tracks, among oak and arbutus trees in the Maures mountains.

Three forts with very different destinies are the focus of this hike in the hills between Carqueiranne and Le Pradet. We will first climb gradually to the top of the Colle Noire hill, before returning to the terraced fields of Le Canebas, passing through the picturesque little port of Coupereau.

If you have an hour or two to spare, here is a short walk (tinged with a certain nostalgia) with no other pretensions than to discover or rediscover a corner of Carqueiranne that has not changed too much.

This route follows the coastal path along the sea. You can see flamingos and various birds on the old salt marshes.

A superb hike at the tip of the Giens peninsula offering magnificent views of Porquerolles Island and the coast.

This fairly challenging route in the first part offers a loop that takes you all the way around the Giens Peninsula.

Beautiful hike around the Giens peninsula by the beach path.

Walking along the western part of the Giens Peninsula on the coastal path is a feast for the eyes, with a succession of islets, coves and beaches, sometimes appearing behind the branches of tall pine trees.This is a fairly challenging route that follows some spectacular trails.

Small coves, mini-coves on a human scale, beautiful forests with a variety of species, agricultural plains, sandy beaches, cliffs with superb views... a varied walk that will give you just a glimpse of half the beauty of this island. Very important: Find out about restrictions on access to the forest areas.

This paradise island is criss-crossed by numerous trails from north to south and east to west. The proposed hike takes you through the village and then on to a beautiful day of walking and swimming in the western part of the island. Magnificent panoramas, turquoise waters, oak forests, olive groves and vineyards on all sides. You'll be able to say, "I was there!" and feel like you're playing Robinson Crusoe, without spending the day roasting on a beach...

Climbing to the highest point of Port Cros Island allows you to discover part of this island neighbouring the famous islands of Porquerolles and Levant.

In addition to the two other magnificent routes on the island, this one is for hikers or sports enthusiasts who want to complete the entire tour of the island within the time allowed (from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) by the time slot imposed by the sea shuttle, which does not wait.

Views of the sea and cliffs for three quarters of the hike, mostly from high ground.
