Le Thoronet walks

A circular on the heights of Le Thoronet takes you through vineyards, olive groves and hamlets to the banks of the Argens river, where you can take a break in the cool. The name of the route is known as "Manjas de Perus", which translates as "wild pear eaters", linked to the poverty of the isolated hamlets.

A circular starting from Thoronet Abbey, allowing you to visit it. Through vineyards, forests and pretty, peaceful hamlets on tracks, paths and small country roads.

This route takes you from the Cistercian Abbey of Thoronet to Lac de Carcès via trails through a typical Var forest with holm oaks, kermes oaks and rosemary. Along the way, you can see the red bauxite soil and enjoy views overlooking Lac de Carcès and the vineyards. There is an alternative route down to the lake where you can take a break at the open-air café.

Vieux Cannet des Maures, a village of character that is well worth a visit. Entraygues, its inaccessible Saint-Michel cave chapel and the natural arches of the Argens. Following a joint decision (operator, municipalities, etc.), the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Conservatory of Natural Areas has therefore prohibited access to this cave chapel. See § During the hike or nearby.

Short hike in the Provençal countryside before climbing up to see the remains of the Oppidum de Meren and ending with a magnificent view of Vieux Cannet and the Argens plain.

Hike mainly through the woods of Menton and Entrecasteaux.

A very beautiful short hike through the undergrowth, taking half of the fitness trail and part of the nature discovery trail.

Hike starting from the charming village of Cabasse, near Carcès, where you can discover several historical sites.

The village of Entrecasteaux developed around a beautiful medieval castle in the Bresque Valley. The hike begins in front of the beautiful garden attributed to Le Nôtre at the foot of the medieval castle. After reaching the top of the village, it follows beautiful tracks and paths towards Saint-Antonin-sur-Var. It then climbs towards the ridge north of Entrecasteaux to reach the Défens de Valpaironne viewpoint.

From the lake, the forest track and then steep steps lead us to the Rocher de Brauch, whose ridge overlooks the expanse of water of Lake Sainte-Suzanne, commonly known as Lake Carcès. This panorama offers a peaceful setting in the heart of Provence Verte. A long forest path and then a trail take us back to the lake shore. The Visorando app may be useful on one section.

Short circular hike on forest tracks and trails north of Saint-Antonin-du-Var with views of the Salernes plain and Grand Bessillon.

A pleasant hike with little elevation gain, suitable for children. The woods offer plenty of good spots for picnics.

A lovely little walk along a path that runs alongside a small canal and leads to the magnificent Caramy Waterfalls.

Tour of Carcès via the lake, passing by the Notre-Dame de Caramy chapel, the waterfalls, the lake, the heights of Brauch and back through the village. Route modified. Moderator's addition on 14/06/2021: Please note! Crossing the village of Lac is prohibited (private property). See alternative in the description (and notice dated 14/06/2021)

An easy walk in the Massif des Maures. Beautiful trails, rivers, streams, lakes and unique terrain. Not to mention the cork oaks, characteristic of the massif, and a varied flora (dwarf irises, anemones, orchids, etc.). Moderator's addition on 22/11/2021 Hike currently impossible due to a fire and the need to preserve nature. See comments at the bottom of this page. Addition at the end of 2023: see the Practical Information section.
