Ramatuelle walks

Nestled in the hills above the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, the village of Ramatuelle offers a timeless escape. This walk invites you to stroll through its narrow streets, lined with houses with ochre facades and pastel shutters, where every turn reveals a shaded square, a discreet fountain or a panorama of the Var hills.Along the way, you will discover the Church of Notre-Dame, the medieval ramparts and a few artisan workshops that perpetuate the Provençal spirit. The song of the cicadas accompanies your steps, while the scents of jasmine and fig trees awaken your senses. An ideal getaway for lovers of heritage, tranquillity and southern charm.

The mills of Paillas are a classic destination for walks in the beautiful and very authentic village of Ramatuelle. Here is an alternative to the "Les moulins de Paillas à Ramatuelle" walk published in 2020, with a different approach that avoids paved roads as much as possible.

This short route includes a pleasant walk through the forests overlooking Ramatuelle and a visit to a treasure of Provençal heritage.

A ridge path to Ramatuelle with views of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and Cavalaire Bay.

To the south of the Saint-Tropez peninsula lies a vast natural area with virtually no housing. Only a few forest tracks and rare paths criss-cross this protected natural site dotted with steep hills and a few valleys where vines flourish. All around, the Mediterranean Sea laps against a preserved shoreline, where a few beaches protected by Cap Lardier and Cap Taillat invite you to take a refreshing break.

This loop takes you along a narrow, steep and sometimes rugged coastal path, but the turquoise waters and unspoilt wildlife of the two headlands are well worth the detour.

An easy walk suitable for everyone. A route along the valley floor with views of the Maures, Gassin and La Croix Valmer. The path winds through beautiful vineyards and the vegetation of the lower Var, with mimosas in bloom in January and February. A circular route that can be walked in either direction without increasing the difficulty; only the views will be different.

A beautiful walk along the coast on an easy trail in a protected area. Be careful in rough seas at the start of the circuit, as there is a section at risk of flooding.

This walk between Escalet and Cap Taillat is a classic in the Ramatuelle area. We did it again to see Cap Taillat five years after the terrible fire that devastated it in July 2017.

This is a fairly short route starting from Bonne Terrasse, allowing you to explore Cap Camarat with ease and return via the lighthouse and a beautiful forest track.

An easy hike along the coast between the Camarat lighthouse and L'Escalet on the Saint-Tropez peninsula. Enjoy beautiful Mediterranean landscapes between pine trees and turquoise water. When you arrive, a refreshing dip at the magnificent Escalet beach will do you the world of good!

This walk begins on the bustling quays of Saint-Tropez, where the hulls of boats dance to the rhythm of the reflections. We walk along the jetty to the lighthouse, a red sentinel facing the horizon, before returning along the seafront, between sunny terraces and pastel-coloured façades. Then, you climb up to the old town, with its cobbled streets, flower-filled balconies and memories of a fishing village that has become legendary. An easy circular loop, between sea splashes and Provençal memories, ideal for strolling along the water's edge and through time.

A lovely easy walk, most of it by the sea.

Head to the ridges of the Faucon trail and return along the banks of the Môle river.

An easy hike with beautiful views of the Mediterranean coastline and the Îles du Levant, Port Cros and Porquerolles. A rare walk along this unspoilt coastline. Hike published by Éditions du Chemin des Crêtes: Les plus belles randonnées Visorando Provence Côte d'Azur(The most beautiful hikes in Provence Côte d'Azur).

Hike along the coast to discover Cavalaire by sea and land, with several viewpoints.

Between nature and town, this loop takes in Grimaud and its must-sees: the Chapelle Saint-Roch, the Pont des Fées and the Vallon de la Garde on the outskirts of the village, the church of Saint-Michel, the village's typical narrow streets, the Tour de l'Horloge, the Chapelle des Pénitents and the Château de Grimaud.

A pleasant hike in Grimaud in the hinterland of Saint-Tropez. The circuit starts near a renovated windmill, then passes near a bridge that was once used as an aqueduct called Pont des Fées. It continues through the beautiful Garde valley, where vineyards, wild olive trees and heath alternate. The return route crosses the old town of Grimaud and passes by the castle.

Superbe vue des environs, notamment sur le Golfe de Saint-Tropez.
