Caps de la Presqu'ile de Saint Tropez coastal walk is the most beautiful on the Cote d'Azur

Caps de la Presqu’ile de Saint Tropez coastal walk is the most beautiful on the Cote d’Azur in France. Which is quite a surprise given its proximity to one of the best known tourist resorts in the world.

The walk itself starts at the end of Gigaro plage near Ramatuelle, which is about 10 minutes drive from La Croix Valmer. From there the walk follows the coastal path for around 6 kilometres until you get to Cap Taillat. From there you return with the option to follow a slight deviation further inland for some of the way. You can carry on a bit further if you are feeling up to it.

What is so striking about this particular walk is that there are no cars to be heard, barely a house in sight, just nature, beautiful Mediterranean pine forest, cork oaks and the sea. It is south facing and can get pretty hot in the summer so you need lots of water and your swimming gear.

The two points Cap Lardier and Cap Taillat are both spectacular sights and well worth the effort. This walk combines nicely with a trip to Saint Tropez (best to get there early in the morning) or Cavalaire and if you finish the walk in the evening you can enjoy the amazing sunset. Strong shoes required but boots not necessary as it’s more up and down than you expect.

If you would like to see more photographs of the walk see our Caps de la Presque'ile de Saint Tropez facebook album.

Show me a more beautiful walk (and I mean with no cars or noise) by the sea in the Cote d’Azur and I will eat my hat!
