Fayence, Var, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

Blavet is a tributary, of the Argens River. The river begins its journey in Bagnols-en-Forêt and flows into the Argens. Carved into red volcanic rocks made from rhyolite , the Gorges du Blavet offers some beautiful geological features such as cave Muréron., a one of the major rock climbing sites in the Var.

A short and very easy circuit starting from the hamlet of "La Foux". There's an old, restored wash-house along the way where you can quench your thirst. The trail continues through fields, with a gentle gradient and a short distance for families. The mountain bike itineraries in the three hamlets of Peyroules are a must for mountain bikers in the "Des Sources aux Gorges du Verdon" destination.

This walk takes you up into the hills, through former farmland, to the abandoned hamlet of Ville, overlooking the Jabron valley and the village of La Rivière.

From the mountain-bike-friendly "La Rivière" inn, head up towards the reed-lined Peyroules lake. You'll then ride on trails maintained by Peyroules hunters and non-hunters for the enjoyment of all. An exceptional heritage to discover in the Verdon Regional Nature Park, at the gateway to the Préalpes d'Azur. Your hike continues with a magnificent view of the Teillon mountain. A fountain awaits your refreshment in the authentic hamlet of La Bâtie. Take advantage of your stay in this beautiful valley to buy local produce at the farm and recharge your batteries at the "La Rivière" inn.

From the "La Rivière" inn, follow the signs for Plan de l'Arbre. Turn left on a forest track to reach a viewpoint with a 360° panorama of the surrounding peaks. An athletic descent on a monotrace will alert your senses to the valley floor and the opposite slope. A long, shady traverse along the right bank of the Jabron brings you to the 7th-century chapel of St. Pons. Take a well-earned break to contemplate this building, listed as a historic monument in 2006 and a witness to a period rich in religious events. Renovation work is underway to preserve this historic heritage. Continue on to the opposite rocky promontory of the ancient hamlet of Ville. This was once a castral village with a castle, the stones of which were reused to build the houses. Recharge your batteries with this exceptional view of the beautiful Haut-Jabron valley.

This is a challenging hike to the summit of Teillon, which is also referred to as ‘Quatre Termes’ in reference to the four boundaries of the surrounding municipalities. From this pastoral mountain, at 1,893 metres above sea level, you can see Corsica on the horizon when the Mistral wind blows

This trail leads to the chapel of Saint Martin, erected at the foot of the imposing rock of the same name, the first parish church in the village of La Garde. From Castellane, take the Route Napoléon to the village of La Garde. Cross the village. At the first sharp bend on the left, take the Chemin des Gravières to the Chapelle Saint-Martin. From La Garde, the route climbs into the Teillon foothills. Follow the path, which bends to the right, climbs under the cliffs and then continues sideways over the Gravières ravine (steep sections). After 1,200 m, at the junction for the climb to the summit of Teillon, you'll find a waymarker. Take the left-hand path on the adret of the Gravières. Descend to the left, cross the valley and continue on the opposite slope. The path enters the forest and joins the GR®4 after 1500m, at a place called "la Bauche", to descend to the village, opposite the inn. Caution: park in the village and take the Chemin de St Martin on foot, as access is reserved for local residents.

A longer variant of the Chapelle Saint-Pierre itinerary, it also takes in the hamlets of La Sagne, in the Alpes Maritimes, and Les Colettes. The latter, still inhabited, is only accessible on foot.

Itinerary to discover a wild site where the Saint-Pierre chapel is hidden. The ruins of Véraillon are the remains of an ancient fortified village abandoned in the 15th century. From the parking lot in the village center, walk up rue des Bayles and turn right onto rue St Roch for around 100 m. At the mission cross, turn right onto the GR®4, then cross a bridge and a field. At the first bend, follow a gullied path up a hill. Continue flat between meadows and Scots pine woods and join a path coming from the right. Go straight on, over a small pass and down the path to the Verraillon ruins. In the meadow below the ruin, turn right and follow the stream. Go left over the clue and then down into the oak grove. At the path junction, go straight ahead, cross the rocky bar and descend to Chapelle St Pierre. Below the chapel, turn right towards Soleihas and follow the canal. 20 m before the waterfall, turn right onto the steep, rocky path over the clue. Ford the Verraillon ravine a little further up and follow a forest path. At the end of the descent, continue straight ahead at the crossroads and join a track a little further up. Continue straight ahead to return to Soleilhas.

This 17th-century chapel is located at the foot of the Robion mountain. Part of it was built under the rocky overhang.

The Château de la Napoule is an ancient medieval fortress restored by a couple of American artists, Henry and Marie Clews, during the Roaring Twenties. The gardens classified as "remarkable" host works of artwork by artists. A bit of history: Built just by the sea in 1387 by the Counts of Villeneuve, the old military fort of La Napoule bears witness to a turbulent history: invasions, looting, wars and other revolutions. Halfruin, half bourgeois villa, it was bought in 1917 by Henry Clews, an American billionaire, painter and sculptor. Together with his wife Marie, they rebuilt the building from authentic remains, including the two towers and transformed it with its gardens into a dream and imaginary place. The maxim engraved on the pediment of the portal "once upon a time", announces the entrance into a fantastic world, where the art, humour and fantasy of its creators are written on the walls forever. Although Henry devoted himself to the castle's architecture and his artistic works, which can be seen in the castle museum, his wife was the architect of the gardens of the castle, which she designed with a talent that is still recognized today. Advantages for families Free for children under 7 years old Free treasure hunt in the castle gardens

Marie took over as architect and landscape designer. Her hard work left a remarkable legacy. Today the Castle is registered as a monument historique and the gardens have received the designation jardin remarkable by the French Ministry of Culture.
