5 Natural Spots to Discover Within 30 km of Camping L’Artaudois
If, like me, you’re a nature lover, then you know how vital it is to find those little corners of paradise where you can breathe, contemplate and reconnect. Around Camping L’Artaudois, nestled in Le Pradet on the magnificent Côte d’Azur, there are places where nature still reigns supreme. Here are 5 must-see nature spots, all within 30 km of the campsite.
1. The Presqu’île de Giens and its Salins (20 km), one of the most beautiful beacheson the Côte d’Azur
The Presqu’île de Giens is a piece of wild Mediterranean as you rarely see it. An incredible coastal path, lined with cliffs and turquoise coves, takes you through a raw setting where the sea dances with the wind.
Don’t miss the Salins des Pesquiers, a protected site where you can observe pink flamingos in complete tranquillity. It’s the perfect place for a contemplative hike, a photo outing or simply to sit back and listen to the sound of the waves.
My advice: go early in the morning to avoid the crowds and catch the golden light over the salt flats.
2. Mont Faron and its breathtaking views (15 km)
If you love heights, then Mont Faron, 584 meters above Toulon, is a must. You can reach the top by car, cable car or, for the more courageous, by hiking the sentier des crêtes.
At the top, the view is breathtaking: Toulon’s harbour spreads out at your feet, with the sea glistening to infinity. And if you’re a history buff, the Mémorial du Débarquement de Provence will plunge you into an intense page of the past.
My advice: go in the late afternoon for an unforgettable sunset over the Mediterranean.
3. The Cap Garonne Mine and its wild trails (3 km) of a thousand and one colorsof the Hyères islands
Just a stone’s throw from Camping L’Artaudois, the Mine de Cap Garonne is a geological and natural treasure trove. The former copper mine, now a museum, is fascinating, but it’s above all its exceptional environment that makes it worth the detour.
Hiking trails wind through the hills of the hinterland, offering grandiose panoramas of the sea and the jagged coastline. It’s the ideal spot for a family stroll, a trail outing or a meditative interlude in the face of nature’s raw beauty.
My tip: after your walk, settle down for a well-deserved swim on the beach at Les Oursinières, just a few minutes away.
4. Porquerolles Island, an unspoilt natural gem (30 km, boat trip included)combine vacationsand culture in the Var
Porquerolles is the pearl of the Mediterranean. Just 20 minutes by boat from Hyères, this island offers a unique setting, between heavenly beaches, pine forests and vineyards.
Rent a bike and explore Notre-Dame beach, voted one of the most beautiful in Europe, or venture to Fort Sainte-Agathe, which dominates the island with a panoramic view. Here, no cars, just nature and silence.
My advice: leave early to avoid the crowds, and take a picnic to savour the moment on a secret cove.
5. The Massif de la Sainte-Baume, an immersion in the forest (30 km) for the whole familyclose to nature
If you’re in the mood for a bit of freshness and greenery, head for the Massif de la Sainte-Baume, a sacred and mystical place where nature reigns supreme. It’s here that the famous grotto of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine is hidden, an important place of pilgrimage nestled in an impressive cliff.
But history aside, it’s the unique atmosphere of this ancient forest that sets it apart. Hundred-year-old oaks, waterfalls and springs make it the perfect cool setting for an immersive nature hike.
My advice: bring good shoes and take the time to listen to the silence – there’s an incredible energy here.
