Reppe (fleuve) walks

This very challenging route takes the hiker to the site of the Château du Diable and its remarkable caves and the Destel gorges, with their astonishing giant's kettles or cauldrons. Nice sections with chains or ropes.

Depart from the lively little village of Sainte-Anne d'Évenos to reach the Château d'Évenos in the hills, with its magnificent view of Toulon harbour.

Climbing up to the old village of Évenos from Sainte-Anne d'Évenos is a classic in this part of western Var, but you never tire of it and, above all, the walk can be a little more rewarding each time if you take the trouble (or rather the pleasure) to look around you: this landscape has a lot to tell us.

A picturesque little 11th-century chapel in the middle of an olive grove, an old iron mine, a peaceful and refreshing retreat and a breath of fresh air, all just a stone's throw from the town of Six-Fours: these are just some of the attractions of this short walk, which is a pleasant way to spend a morning or afternoon.

A short urban hike can be enjoyable, especially when the town is called Ollioules. Built in an amphitheatre at the exit of its gorges and spread out across its fertile plain, irrigated by a network that has been skilfully managed since medieval times, Ollioules has a rich heritage that is as varied as it is lovingly preserved. After the relaxing stretch of irrigation channels, the climb may seem arduous, but you will be rewarded by the panoramic views that gradually unfold before you.

This magnificent, challenging hike takes us up the Destel river with its truly unique potholes. This hike is classified as very difficult due to the passage through the gorges from (6) to (2) (a). Please note: the duration calculated by the software seems to be greatly underestimated (see reviews at the bottom of this page).

Climb above Ollioules and see the witnesses to the country's history: a Celtic-Ligurian oppidum, a medieval castle, a Chappe telegraph, cadastral markers and a water tower. This is what I offer you over a few kilometres on this peaceful walk, which does have a fairly steep incline.
