From Six-Fours, head to the port of Le Brusc to catch the shuttle. The crossing takes about a quarter of an hour.
(S/E) When you get off the boat, take the quay on the right, then walk all the way round the harbour along Quai Vincent Scotto.
Before reaching the swimming pool, turn left and walk between the blocks of flats until you reach Avenue Thomas Edison. Turn right onto this road for about thirty metres, then take the path on the right which leads to Les Salins beach. Once at the beach, take the road on the left that runs along the coast. Keep as close to the coast as possible.
(1) When you reach the bullring, take a path on the right to walk to Pointe Saint-Pierre and back, then continue along the coastal road.
After Pointe de la Gabrielle, walk past a large villa, opposite which a flight of steps leads down to the beach. Then, keep to the right.
(2) After Pointe du Rix and its cove, leave the road and take a path on the right. Where this path, after a circular route, joins a track, you’ll find Paul Ricard’s grave.
(3) After the grave, continue along a path that climbs up to the Marine Tower. Then head back down towards the east, keeping close to the cliffs, until you reach the track that runs alongside the vineyards. Continue along this track to the tennis courts on the edge of the salt marshes.
(4) There, follow the track to the right as it curves in a semicircle along the lagoon to the oceanographic laboratory buildings.
(5) After passing the buildings, turn right onto a path that runs behind them and leads to the beach known as Grand Gaou. Then follow the track that runs the entire length of the coast, with the option of passing through the forest that covers most of this peninsula. On the way, you can stop off at Pointe du Canoubier, where there is a red beacon. After passing a hotel, the track joins Chemin Denis Papin.
(6) Follow this track initially, walking round the harbour basin where a large number of yachts are moored. After skirting the harbour basin, you’ll finally reach the jetty (S/E).
– it wasn’t that busy, even though it was the school holidays!
) and we were able to swim at several spots, which we thoroughly enjoyed.
