Departure from Le Castellet (Var) (Var)
We have been using the small road between Le Brûlat and Sainte-Anne du Castellet for some time and wanted to explore the surrounding area. This modest walk allowed us to discover charming countryside planted with vines and olive trees, where absolute calm reigns. Please note that the entire route is on paved roads, as there are no accessible footpaths or tracks, but the small roads are very pleasant and not very busy. A getaway in a pretty plain surrounded by hills.

Departure from Le Beausset (Var)
This easy hike offers beautiful panoramic views, a visit to the old hilltop village of Le Castellet, a walk through a cool valley that would not be out of place in Provence Verte, and finally a stroll through a pleasant neighbourhood of the village of Le Beausset.
Please note, however, that most of the route is on tarmac, but on small roads with very little traffic.

This is a very easy walk that follows part of the circular "Boucle au-dessus du Plan du Castellet" route, allowing you to visit the north-western slope of the Pibarnon hill and enjoy the beautiful views it offers over the bay of La Ciotat. Please note that two-thirds of the route is on paved roads, although they are very quiet. Therefore, it is not suitable for those who dislike tarmac.

Departure from Le Beausset (Var)
Climb up to the sanctuary of Vieux Beausset via the Chemin des Oratoires, then stroll back down along small country roads through terraced olive groves and vineyards. This is a walk that can be done all year round, but I would recommend doing it in spring to appreciate the mildness of the landscape.

Departure from La Cadière-d'Azur (Var)
A very easy walk that will allow you to see some fossils, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, with beautiful views of the hilltop villages of Le Castellet and La Cadière d'Azur. Between 1824 and 1949, a lignite mine (a type of coal between peat and hard coal) was operated at the Fontanieu site; a few very discreet remains of this operation can still be seen here and there. Those interested in geology will enjoy "reading" this landscape.

This is a classic walk in Sainte-Anne d'Evenos, near Toulon. It is easy as it is mainly on forest tracks, but never boring as it alternates between crossing a sometimes very dense forest around the Bérenguière valley and beautiful views of the Beausset basin, the Sainte-Baume mountain range and the bed of an intermittent river.

Climbing up to the old village of Évenos from Sainte-Anne d'Évenos is a classic in this part of western Var, but you never tire of it and, above all, the walk can be a little more rewarding each time if you take the trouble (or rather the pleasure) to look around you: this landscape has a lot to tell us.
