Cap Sici\u00e9 | Six-Fours-les-Plages<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This section of the coastal path between the hamlet of Le Brusc and the Notre-Dame-du-Mai chapel<\/a> requires a good level of fitness.

Cap Sici\u00e9 | La Seyne-sur-Mer <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This 14 km round trip stretch of the coastal path is quite demanding.\nAfter skirting the Var corniche – known as the Corniche Merveilleuse – this panoramic route winds its way up the hillside, offering views of the Deux Fr\u00e8res rocks and the black and grey sandy coves below.\nThe shades of color vary with the seasons: in spring, when the flower beds are in bloom, the spectacle is breathtaking.\nAlthough the climb to the chapel is arduous, the reward at the top is nothing short of magical.\nThe more athletic can continue the walk to Le Brusc<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mont Combe | Le Revest-les-Eaux<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Touravelle trail offers breathtaking views of Mont Combe.\nLess imposing than Mont Caume, less frequented than Mont Faron and less famous than Coudon, this mountain is nonetheless a priceless discovery.\nIt’s worth exploring for the richness of its flora and fauna, the preservation of its magnificent restanques, and above all for the sheer scale of its panorama.\nFrom the summit, perched at an altitude of 440 meters, the view stretches 360 degrees: endless panoramas of the Mediterranean, Six-Fours Fort, Baou des Quatre Aures, Mont Caume, Coudon and Faron await you. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
