  • 1. Vallée des Merveilles, Mercantour National Park

    Serious hikers only on this marvellous mountain trek. Allow 2–3 days, overnighting in refuges. Contact Park HQ before setting out (see Vallée des Merveilles and Musée des Merveilles).

  • 2. Martel Trail, Verdon Gorges

    A 15-km (9-mile) trail from Le Palud to Point Sublime. Allow 7–8 hours (see Martell Trail).

  • 3. Calanques, Marseille

    Spectacular walking along headland trails (see Les Calanques).

  • 4. Massif des Maures

    The forests, valleys and peaks are criss-crossed with excellent trails (see Hill Walks in the Maures Mountains).

    The seaside walk to La Seyne starts off flat, then climbs to the Cap Sicié. Great views. Allow 7 hours.

    The “baou” is the rock overlooking the village near Vence. Stiff but rewarding walk (3–4 hours).

    Trek from Sablet village up to St Amand, the highest point. Six hours (see A Day’s Drive in the Vaucluse Mountains).
