Six-Fours from one end to the other<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From Bonnegr\u00e2ce beach to the Gaou peninsula<\/a>, Six-Fours can be explored along its long coastline, almost never leaving the seafront out of sight. The coastal path at Six-Fours-les-Plages offers a pleasant stroll along paths with low Mediterranean vegetation and wild coves. In winter, when the air is cooler, the translucent sea makes you want to swap your sneakers for a swimsuit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    From Bonnegr\u00e2ce beach to Le Brusc<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    With no major difficulties, this itinerary takes you from the “port de la M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e” to the port of Le Brusc<\/a>, via Cap N\u00e8gre<\/a>, its atypical brown rock and exotic prickly pear trees. From port to port, you follow the yellow markers, alternating between coves and more aerial passages equipped with protective ramps. The trail is interrupted at several points and a detour by road is compulsory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

    Although this part of the trail is not the most difficult, we recommend that you have suitable equipment and good shoes. Depending on the weather, the trail can be slippery. In calm weather, slip a swimsuit into your backpack.LEARN MORE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

    Botanical walk around the Gaou<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Connected to the mainland by a wooden footbridge, the Gaou peninsula<\/a> abounds in Mediterranean plants and species. As you stroll along the paths of the peninsula, discover the explanatory panels on the flora and endemic species, as well as the anemomorphic pines typical of the Gaou. This part of the coastal path takes less than an hour to complete, through a landscape of lagoons and wild creeks, with a superb view of the island of Les Embiez<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    The coastal path also includes a more challenging section between the hamlet of Le Brusc and the Notre-Dame-du-Mai chapel<\/a>. From Le Brusc or the Mount Salva nature reserve<\/a>, a path leads to the Notre-Dame-du-Mai chapel on the heights of Cap Sici\u00e9<\/a>. The seaside itinerary is interrupted and a more forested bypass trail is built to reach La Seyne-sur-Mer. Slightly less maritime, the landscape is criss-crossed by pine trees and defensive heritage features.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n

    Apart from the Aleppo pines on the balcony sections, the vegetation on the coastal path is rather low-lying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the water’s edge, you’ll find sea crystals; on the hills, junipers, sarsaparilla or cade wood, and a host of flowers such as cottony rockrose or Montpellier rockrose color the trails in spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
