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.

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.

This circuit will allow you to discover traces of the Ligurian occupation of this area.

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.

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.
