Eglise Saint Nazaire de Sanary-sur-Mer

Reviewed By VAtraveller17 - Fairfax, VA

The church is very nice, but what I really liked was the outdoor Stations of the Cross path up the far side of the harbor cliff. At the top is a chapel that marks the spot where a hermit lived. He would blow a trumpet to alert the town of incoming ships in the middle ages. Very good views from the top.

Notre Dame du Mai

Reviewed By fastfish1x1 - Bagneres-de-Bigorre, France

Single track starts at the eastern side and descends to larger track. Continue east on main, larger track about 300m, then look for Single Track down, off to left which passes small building in first 20m. This eventually comes out on the main road, you can then ride back up towards the church, but before you hit the really steep bit, there is a large citerne on a parking space on a left-hand 180deg bend in the road. There are then two options to head back down from here. The right one is more flowy and less rocky, the left one is steeper and rockier

Le Pont de la Seyne

Reviewed By VasilyMalygin - St. Petersburg, Russia

It has been a brief visit to La Seyne-sur-Mer, just for a couple of hours so to find a viewing platform in such a small, not so touristy, town. This point is the former brige (constracted in 1917), which had been turned into "tower" in 2009.
You definitely can not miss it as it stands in exact town centre, not fare from the tawn hall and the Tourist info-point. The entrance is free. The elevator takes you to the top from where you may see whole La Seyne-sur-Mer, beautiful coast-line and even Toulon on the other side of the bay.
The town of La Seyne-sur-Mer may be has no a lot to see, but looks nice and pretty from above. So Le Pont de la Seyne is perfect place to check on this charming piece of cote d'Azur!

Nougat Jonquier

Reviewed By Karl S - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

This little nougat maker is tucked away in Ollioules near Toulon in the south of France. Expensive but very tastey ( smallest bar of 125gms is E7.20). You can by small cubes celo wrapped to mix flavours in a bag at E6.50 per 100gms. I met the whole family and they are very nice. Dad and sons speak a little English and they are off to a London food fair early Nov. Been in the business 130 years now with old classic recipes and some with a contemporary twist like mint, muslie, fig, orange and violet flavours. Old Ollioules worth a wander round as long as you can walk steep streets. Free parking just before you hit the old towncentre (In old town you need a blue badge or just park for 15 mins).

Chapelle Notre-Dame de Pitie

Reviewed By J H H - McLean, Virginia

This lovely chapel perched high above Sanary-sur-Mer is easily accessible up the beautiful pedestrian walkway that climbs from the harbor to the surrounding hillside. The walk itself is very pleasant and you are rewarded with the Prospect of this relatively small c. 1560 chapel that has served Sanary-sur-Mer through war/invasion, religious strife and various plagues and still survives. The chapel has nice documentation (all in French) of the many faces of this church, and a very pleasant side garden. One of the historic highlights of our visit to Sanary-sur-Mer, and "away" from all the harbor front crowds.

Ile des Embiez

Ile des Embiez is located in south of France, in the Var Department (83), between Marseille and Toulon, in front of Six-Fours-les-Plages. The "natural island" is accessible all the year from the Brusc Marina in Six-Fours. Various accommodation facilities, restaurants, leisure, marina, seminars and events... on site.

Reviewed By Baldisbeautiful - Sint-Niklaas, Belgium

You reach Ile des Embiez after a 12 minute trip from Brusc by ferry. Ile des Embiez is one of the two Islands by Paul Ricard, the founder of the famous Ricard drink. When you arrive at the island the first thing you see is the harbour with hundreds of sailing boats and motoryachts. There is a shop where you can buy groceries, boutiques and many restaurants as well as hotels and even a wine bar. Ile des Embiez has it's own wine and you can visit the wine cave. You can rent a bike or take the tourist train to take a trip around the island. The beauty of the island is too overwhelming to even describe it. One has to see it to understand it. If they ever ask me to come back I hope I would never have to leave it. It's stunning. !!!!

Reviewed By Tekaia R

Excellent stay in this very small island having few villas and one hotel, 3 beachs ( only one public) and other snack bars and restaurants. Direct schuttle from Bandol city (7mn cross). Owned by Paul Ricard, the familly continue its maintenançe and reconstruction ( remain to do). Wonderfull visit but better to stay at least one night to take a rest.

Zoa Parc Animalier et Exotique

Reviewed By Simon M - Cambridge, United Kingdom

We spent two hours here on a very hot day. There is plenty of shade, and lots of tables for eating a picnic, which is sensible because the refreshments offer here is close to non-existent. This is a really good place for families with young children, in fact it was swarming with young families having a really great time. The animals definitely tick all the boxes: nice outdoor enclosures, healthy happy animals, very clean and no nasty odours. Lots of the animals appeal to kids, and to parents and grandparents. We saw a lot of three generation families enjoying the park. The plants are very good as well, but bear in mind this is not a true botanic garden (and it does not claim to be -- for that experience go to Monaco / Eze / Nice). The blending of plants and animals is truly harmonious and at peace with nature. Tariff: €9.50 adults, €7 children. Open 7/7 Feb -> Oct, Wednesday and weekend Nov -> Jan. Although the entry fee might look high you have to keep in mind that this is a private venture and looking after the animals is expensive. Take care when walking around, the site is on a hillside and there are trip hazards on the paths. Toilet facilities exist but are barely adequate. Parking is free and plentiful. Soft drinks and crisps and ice cream available at the buvette. Souvenir shop, but not very impressive.

Ok it's very cute and quaint, it is worth a quick visit but no need to stay more than a few minutes, even seconds if you don't want to see the inside. Interesting fact, the windows are made with bottle glass and actual bottle bottoms

Near Sanary sur Mer with adequate parking. A short walk to the park, with interesting plants and stunning views. 30 minutes was not long enough!
