1) Departure from the Tourist Office by car to the beaches. Take Boulevard Tabarin. At the end of the road, turn left onto Boulevard du Littoral and continue to Boulevard de Gigaro which runs alongside the beach. Take the Chemin de la Mer on your left and leave your car at "Gigaro" car park, then continue on foot.

2) From the sea front, take the "Sentier du Littoral" coastal footpath on your left and continue to the Pointe Andati via Brouis creek, with its twinkling schist rocks bordered by a white sandy beach, where seaweed dances among the blue waters - a true Garden of Eden and undoubtedly one of the Var region's most beautiful sites. And that's no flippant compliment !

3) Continue to Cape Lardier, with its 740 acres of fragrant "maquis" and pine woods set between Ramatuelle and La Croix Valmer, facing Cavalaire Bay. Here, the show of plant life is truly breathtaking: honey-scented Aleppo pines and umbrella pines, mimosa forests, rockrose, ferns, spiny broom and wild Maures lavender. Bird life is varied here too; in Winter you can spot giant cormorants, terns, swallows and sometimes gannets. Cape Lardier offers unbeatable views over Cape Taillat - so you may want to continue your expedition the following day. In which case, we suggest you leave your car at Escalet beach, in Ramatuelle.

4) For the return journey, a forest track takes you back to the "Mas de Gigaro" by the inland route. At the pass, the footpath turns right into the underwoods, then curves round the summit by the East and continues along the ridge to the departure point.
