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.

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.

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.

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.

This hike leads around Bormes-les-Mimosas, and the flowering mimosas in particular.

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?

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 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.

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

This loop hike in the Maures mountains includes a visit to the Gauttobry dolmen, a listed monument. Superb view of the Hyères salt marshes.

Superb out-and-back coastal hike on the sentier du littoral between La Londe-les-Maures and Brégançon. Many beaches along the way.

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

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

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.

A beautiful hike in the Maures mountains, with the ascent of Notre-Dame des Anges. The 360° panorama includes views of the Hyères islands, the Collobrières valley, the Maures plain and Sainte-Baume.
