Un lieu enchanteur où beauté, harmonie et bien être se disputent à l’ombre de grands vins élégants et charmeurs. Le vignoble s’étire sur un terroir généreux entouré de cyprès et d’oliviers, gardé par une vieille bastide provençale au pied des collines de Tourtour. Les terres sont constituées d’un sol argilo-calcaire et limoneux avec un régime hydrique très favorable lui confère un terroir d’exception pour réaliser des vins d’excellence.

Have ridden quite a lot in the Esterel, it's one of the real treasures of the Cote d'Azur, with red, volcanic rock mountains, and breathtaking views across the coast and north to the Alps. Having cycled here a fair bit, I knew how tough some of the climbs were. However, for anyone who has never tried an electric bike, this is the perfect way to get to some out of the way places, accessible to all. There are many wide, traffic free gravel roads accessible to anyone, even with a basic level of fitness. The bikes provided were Moustache bikes, a French brand, and excellent quality. Riding uphill on these things was as easy as riding along a flat piece of road. The owner, Dominique, was very helpful and flexible. We'd seen the forecast and in the end we rented bikes for 3 hours, which was fine for us. Prices work out very reasonable for the whole day and there is soooo much to see in the Esterel, I can't recommend this enough.
4. Sentier de l'imbut

The trail Imbut is one of the most beautiful hikes in the Verdon Gorges, but perhaps also the most technical and difficult. It is a journey of about 6-8 kilometers with almost 340 meters of vertical descent and 400 meters uphill. This hike will last for 4 to 6 hours, depending on the options chosen

This is a simply spectacular walk. K have done it two or three times now and always enjoyed it. The descent takes about an hour. Then the walk along the river has its vertiginous moments. The exit is tense at first and steep. Be sure-footed and enjoy.

I struggled to find any good information on a demanding day hike from the cruise port up to Point Sublime at the top of Mont Faron. I did read that you must not follow Google maps as it leaves you at the end of dead end path looking up at a sheer rock face! So we kind of followed the road and the following notes give you a safe tarmac road based route with a reasonable amount of shade as you wind up the Western side of the mountain. Cars do pass but not in any large numbers. It will get you to the viewing point in about 2.5hrs. We then came down on the cable car (€5 one way) and walked the 35mins back to the cruise port. The whole round trip took us 5.5 hours including a coffee stop (€2 each) at the cafe next to the cable car. Leave the cruise ship, put the “Zenith Omega” into your maps app. I think it’s a conference centre. It’s doesn’t matter how you walk there as it will take you though a tunnel under the railway. Once on the other side of the railway with the Zenith Omega in front of you, turn left and walk to Boulevard Bianchi, which is the start of a steep climbing road that changes name to Boulevard Emile Jacquemin. At the junction with Chenin du Fort Rouge turn right and then it’s all up hill on a one way road (cars going up only) into Route du Faron until you reach the cable car (Telepherique du Mont Faron). Staying on the road, keep walking past this to the zoo and then past that towards the Point Sublime. You will see a path with a barrier and no entry sign (for cars) on the right which you walk along for about 15 mins. The sign says 25 mins which is not true. The viewing point at the cross gives a wide open view of the harbour, the town and the mountain. It’s impressive. Then walk back to the cable car, take it down to the edge of town and it’s a 35 min stroll back to your ship through the old town. Overall 12 miles or 19 km and about 24,500 steps. Enjoy.

Chateau de Berne is situated in an enormous area of winefields and olive woods. A fantastic place just outside Lorgues. The hotel and the rooms are of a very high standard. The restaurant has Michelin quality, and there is a small Bistro as well. It is possible to visit the Cave also and have a guided tour (appointment needed) Further the delicious wines from the Chateau are for sale in the shop, which also have a lot of fine souvenirs, delicatessen and others for sale.

This Cistercian abbey has simplicity that is powerful yet soothing. The cloisters are stunning. And in June it was relatively uncrowded on a week day.

Starting at the Stade Municipal and using Google Maps you genuinely can’t go wrong. It’s a 30 minutes walk there, the second half down a steep, rocky track. Once at the river it’s breathtaking. The photos here and elsewhere genuinely haven’t been Photoshopped - it really is that beautiful. The walk back is slightly longer and lung bursting if you’re not reasonably fit. But it’s a couple of hours well spent. Don’t forget your camera.
