Le Gaou, a jewel box for lovers of authenticity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
At the tip of Six-Fours-les-Plages, the Pointe du Gaou is divided into two parts: “Le petit Gaou”, where the statue of Venus is located, and “Le grand Gaou”, a peninsula surrounded by the sea, accessible to pedestrians via a wooden footbridge a few meters long. Walks in Le Gaou guarantee a change of scenery that appeals to young and old alike. After a walk to discover the flora and fauna, a picnic in the coves or on the beach, or a moment on the rocks watching the periwinkles, enjoy a refreshing break on the terrace, facing the lagoon, for absolute pleasure. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our advice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A gift from nature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Gaou peninsula is framed by natural wonders. On one side, the lagoon of Le Brusc<\/a> and its colorful pointus, on the other the imposing massif of Cap Sici\u00e9<\/a>, and, on the horizon, the island of Les Embiez<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Un air d’ailleurs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Its crystalline rock, clear waters and wild coastline give it a Caribbean or Brittany feel, depending on the weather. The statue of “La Venus sortant des flots” (Venus rising from the waves), sculpted by Robert Forrer on the Petit Gaou in 1961, keeps watch over the site and acts as a link between land and sea. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

\n
Terrace facing the sea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Take a seat on the terrace of one of the restaurants located at the entrance to the Pointe du Gaou, and enjoy a breathtaking view over the lagoon or the Cap Sici\u00e9 massif<\/a> and the open sea. Savor Provencal specialties at lunch, share a sunset dinner or enjoy an aperitif with a concert at “La Lagune” or “Le V\u00e9nus du Gaou”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
