Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer walks

This is a short loop offering beautiful views of the Mediterranean coast on varied and sometimes challenging terrain. The trail starts among beautiful villas with sea views, then follows a balcony path above the coastline to a lovely beach, and returns via an old railway line. This walk is best suited to sure-footed walkers who are not afraid of tackling the climbs right from the start.

A beautiful loop where you can enjoy all the scents of Mediterranean flora and magnificent views throughout the hike. The route has a steep climb at the start, but this is quickly forgotten thanks to the views it offers. Although part of the route is on a tarmac road, this is fine as there is always something to look at.

This is an easy walk with beautiful views of the Mediterranean coastline and the Îles du Levant, Port Cros and Porquerolles. It is a rare walk along this stretch of coastline that is not covered in concrete.

Park in the car park next to the town hall annex and the post office. A superb view and a good little climb, a bit too much tarmac for me. Very well signposted, it's a superb loop.

A pleasant hike in the countryside and a visit to the Chartreuse de la Verne. You can also access this hike by taking the ST Julien path (on the left at the first traffic lights when coming from Toulon). The dam area is no longer accessible by car. Park before the barrier on the right-hand side of the road near a small wood and continue on foot to the dam.

Circuit in the Massif des Maures, between narrow paths and wide tracks, passing by the Sommet du Bœuf and the Collobrières weather radar.

A pleasant outing to the valleys of Grand Noyer, La Gourre and Le Révérencier, where you will alternate between pretty drovers' roads, water points, old mule tracks, undergrowth and old stone bridges...

An easy hike starting from Super Lavandou and following the Chemin du Bargidon. Exceptional views throughout the hike over the bay of Bormes and Le Lavandou, the Hyères islands and even as far as Toulon. When you reach the Route des Crêtes, the view becomes sublime!

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.

A somewhat challenging hike from Le Lavandou to La Plage de la Fossette via the coastal path. Walk along a rocky trail with several views of the coastline.

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 circuit will allow you to discover traces of the Ligurian occupation of this area. This dry stone fortress, occupied from the 6th to the 4th century BC, dominates the Bay of Cavalaire from its height of 460m. It offers exceptional views of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, the Maures massif, the Estérel and the Mercantour in the distance.

A walk through the crests of the Maures forest. A breathtaking landscape taking in the Mediterranean and the Alps.

A short loop with superb views, to be done before or after visiting the charterhouse.

Circuit overlooking the Var coast above Bormes-les-Mimosas.

The beautiful view of the harbour from the village is very charming, but what can be said about the view from the top of Notre-Dame de Constance, 160 metres higher up?

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.

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.

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 circular loop in the heart of the Forêt des Maures, where you can admire the Chartreuse de la Verne and the Menhirs du Plateau Lambert.

I suggest a walk that will take you to the Lambert Plateau on a shaded route along the Verne.

A short loop in the heart of the Maures forest to admire the Menhirs de Lambert. Part of the route is on a paved road (but closed to traffic) and wide forest tracks.

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.

A very pleasant loop trail allowing you to visit the menhirs of the Plateau de Lambert, dating from between 5,000 and 7,000 years ago. There is a majestic chestnut tree stump near the forest house. This almost thousand-year-old chestnut tree stump is attributed to Madame de Sévigné, who came to the Plateau Lambert farm to relax and recharge her batteries at the foot of the chestnut trees. It burned down in the 1980s.

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.

Climbing to the highest point of Port Cros Island allows you to discover part of this island neighbouring the famous islands of Porquerolles and Levant.

Views of the sea and cliffs for three quarters of the hike, mostly from high ground.
