(S/E) From the pier, head towards the lighthouse (passing below the main square). Go around the water treatment plant and turn right, passing two paths on the left and then one on the right.
You will come to another fork.
(1) Take the path opposite (west) towards the Gorges du Loup.
In strong winds, beware of gusts when accessing the point.
(2) Turn back and return to the previous fork.
(1) Turn right towards Les Chevreaux. The signs are visible in the other direction. After 300 metres, turn right.
At the point, head left onto the rocks, and the path through the woods will resume a hundred metres further on. Continue along the path on the right to reach the Porquerolle lighthouse.
(3) At the foot of the lighthouse, take the footpath to the right. Follow the coastal path to a four-way crossroads.
(4) At this point, the official path opposite is closed, and the coastal path on the right is difficult to access, so take the path on the left for 80 metres and turn right onto the small path that descends for about 120 metres.
At the crossroads (beware of the steep descent), turn right and walk back to see the beach 20 metres away.
(5) Turn back 50 metres and take the coastal path on the right.
(6) At Mont des Salins, continue along the coastal path on the right, which descends steeply. If there is a westerly wind, you can take shelter to the east of the building.
(7) Continue straight ahead on the footpath. Please note that on the next section, the path runs close to the cliff edge in places and there are some steep drops.
(8) Turn left onto the path towards Notre-Dame Beach. At the next fork, follow the path to the right, leave the woods and walk along the vineyards on the right. At the crossroads, turn right/left and continue along the edge of the woods, then turn left at the end of the fields.
(9) At the crossroads with the road, turn left for 100 metres then right. At the next crossroads, turn left (private property on the right). Take the second path towards the beach as thethird has been blocked off. On the beach, head left.
(10) If there is a westerly wind, this is the only sheltered option on the beach for refreshments. Turn left onto the path.
(9) Ignore the route you have already taken and turn left along Notre-Dame Beach.
(11) At the three-way junction, turn right onto the path leading up to the top of Les Mèdes.
To reach the tip of Les Mèdes, continue for about 900 metres.
(12) At the foot of the small esplanade, take the path to the right. There are two beautiful viewpoints at the top of the hill.
(13) Walk along the barracks. Turn left to reach the Galéasson Battery.
(14) Turn around and return to the fork.
(13) Head straight ahead.
(9) Continue straight ahead, ignoring the route you have already taken on the right, and continue with the sea on your right. This will take you to the pier (S/E).
