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.

The Fort Freinet, fortified village of the Middle Ages (12th- end of 16th Centuries), is situated on a steep hill dominating the present village of La Garde-Freinet. The fort is registered as a natural exceptional site. The panoramic view from this site is unique : from the Pre-Alps to the Mediterranean sea, crossing the wooded hills of the Maures Mountains.

wonderful. Definately worth a day out; so much history and a great walk, a bit scary bat times for small children but a great day out

Tourtour is an excellent small walking village with dramatic views and delightful walks on the cobblestone streets. Enjoy a restful lunch at one of the restaurants or pack your own and sit in the open areas to enjoy a view. A nice getaway.

Frégate is a family Vineyard built in the 60s, first bottle of wine to be sold in 1971. Mr de Pissy plants vines only on Bandol appellation with minimum yield to have the best quality. Soil and climate are perfect for the mourvedre, the main variety of grapes in Bandol, lot of sun but few days of rain. After the step son it is the grandson who is in charge of the 30 hectares of gapes lands. He is doing responsible farming as an important point for us to be as closely as possible to the wishes of our costumers. Thanks to our position just next to the sea we have maritim air to dry after the rain and give the grapes iode air.
