"Rocher de Roquebrune" : "Of surprising and original aspect, this rocky spur surges from the plain like an island in the desert. Its characteristic red colour is due to a large quantity of thermite, which contrasts strongly with patches of green vegetation. Its relief is curious, chaotic and tortured, comprising torn ridges, steep cliffs, and plateaux scattered with blocks of stone and scored with deep, narrow gorges" (See "Les Carnets Varois de l'Environnement - Le Rocher de Roquebrune Faune et Flore" published by the Conseil Général du Var).

Chapels : Roquebrune was for a long time nicknamed the "village with 26 chapels". Some have now been restored, such as Saint-Roch (1601) at the village entrance. The façade of Saint-Pierre chapel (1034), to the South, bears a perfectly-preserved niche. Saint-Jacques chapel (1875), in Rue de l'Hospice, is home to the Roquebrune folk museum.

"Notre Dame des Issambres" : This sanctuary (1954), each corner of which is decorated with the image of an evangelist, is home to a fine altar piece with long columns.

Megaliths (dolmens and menhirs). Dolmens at Les Issambres and La Gaillarde (now a listed monument).

"Eglise Paroissale" (Parish Church) : Part of the "Route Historique de Hauts Lieux de Provence" (Route of the Historical Sites of Provence). The site was formerly occupied by a chapel, mentioned in 1084 in a papal bull written by Gregory VII where the name "Roquebrunae" appears for the first time. In the 19th century, the nave, apse, side chapels, pillars and ribs were decorated with magnificent paintings - a sight unique in its kind in the region.

"Tour de l'Horloge" (Clock Tower) : Former part of the ramparts, the tower was reworked in the 18th century.

"Vallon de la Gaillarde" : The valley offers breathtaking views over the bays of Saint-Tropez and Fréjus plus four footpaths created on different themes.

"Gorges du Blavet" : A magnificent site and international climbing venue, the gorge is characterized by its very high and steep red rocks. The 20-metre deep "Grotte du Muréron" cave and "L'Homme Bouvérien" prehistoric site are absolute musts.

"Forêt domaniale de Palayson" (3000 acres) : The forest, with its vast plateau and hilltop lakes, is beautifully maintained by the National Forestry Commission.

"Sentier du Littoral" (coastal footpath) at Les Issambres : Accessible to all, the path starts out from Les Issambres Tourist Office and runs along the coast for 2 km to the locality of San Peïre, reputed for its water sports. Les Issambres harbour, a little further on, is the boarding point for a wide choice of boat trips.

"Le Vivier Romain" (Roman fish tank) : A listed site set on the coastal footpath and carved into the rock. Very few constructions of this type are still visible in France. Best admired on clear, calm days.

"Le belvédère" : Set on top of the water tower overlooking Les Issambres. Totally clear views over the Bay of Saint-Tropez and the Estérel hills, plus some fascinating ceramicss.
