Saint-Tropez walks

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

A walk in the hills above Sainte-Maxime, rewarded with a superb 360° view from the Estérel to the Maures, passing over the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and, on a clear day, the Alps.

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 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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

This easy walk offers beautiful views of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez on one side and the Estérel and Southern Alps on the other.

A walk through the Var forest ending in a forest of mimosas. Lovely views of the sea.

In the hinterland of Saint-Tropez, a beautiful hike allows you to discover the old town of La Garde-Freinet, beautiful landscapes of heathland and cork oak forests, as well as the Roches Blanches, a rocky outcrop of quartz. Not to mention the Croix des Maures and Fort Freinet, carved into the rock in the Middle Ages.

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.
