The car parks at the start are large and free all year round: please note that access for motorhomes is restricted to a height of 2.00 m.
(S/E) The walk starts at the large sign detailing the history of the “Mines de l’Argentière”. Head south-west towards the marina, following the seafront. You will arrive at the marina’s harbour master’s office. From there, looking east, you can see Fort de Brégançon, which hosts the Presidents of the French Republic during their holidays.
(1) Continue along the harbour. You will pass numerous restaurants until you reach the large Miramar Beach. Continue along the beach, then take a path leading to the Camping du Pansard.
(2) Turn right just before the campsite and leave the seafront behind, heading towards the vineyards. After a left turn followed by a right turn, continue due north until you reach the stop sign on the road (Chemin du Pansard).
(3) Turn left along the road. About a hundred metres further on, go straight ahead down the dead-end track. Pass through the vineyards, not far from the Hyères marshes (Salins de Hyères), which are frequented by flamingos from October to April; however, to see them, you’ll need to take a different walk that goes closer to the marshes. Pass through the vineyards, then turn right and take a path lined with Provençal oaks, ignoring the turnings to the right or left until you reach the roundabout on the RD559A (Avenue des Combattants d’Indochine).
(4) Cross this road with care and take the cycle/footpath to the right, towards the centre of La Londe. Keep heading in this direction until you reach the junction with Rue du Maréchal Foch.
(5) Turn left, towards "Notre-Dame des Maures". Pass by a pretty square (Place Allègre), cross it, opposite the Maison des Associations, then turn right. Cross Boulevard Azan and join Rue des Poilus.
(6) Cross it using the steps, keep going in the same direction and join Rue du Maréchal Joffre. Turn left towards the town hall; just before it, turn right and head towards the War Memorial and the main road (D559 – Avenue Clemenceau). Follow it on the left until you reach Place Camoin, recognisable by its fountains.
(7) Cross Avenue Georges Clémenceau at the pedestrian crossing and take the path running alongside the square. At the far end of the square, after crossing a road, you will reach the path known as Promenade des Annamites.
(8) Continue straight ahead, going round the houses on the left, cross the small bridge over the Maravenne and join Route du Pellegrin not far from a roundabout on your right.
(9) Cross at the pedestrian crossing and first turn left then right to follow Rue de la Fonderie, passing in front of Antoine Bussane Primary School. About 200 m further on, continue along the path called Promenade des Annamites and go straight on until you reach the tarmac at Boulevard Plage de l'Argentière.
(10) Turn right, then right again at the nearby junction, staying on the boulevard.
(11) Cross at the pedestrian crossing, turn right then immediately left to rejoin the road and continue straight on to the starting car park (S/E).
