France – La Garde-Freinet Rando 7 – La Mourre et la Nible et les Maximins
This is a very challenging long run/hike that drops from La Garde-Freinet down to the Plains des Mures and climbs back to the village through some remote but breathtaking countryside.
France – La Garde-Freinet Rando 9 – Le Pont Romain
Out and back run with lots of vertical (down on the way to the bridge and up on the way back) that’s rewarded with an honest to goodness Roman bridge that you can walk across.
France – La Garde-Freinet Rando 8 – Les Cabrettes
Challenging and somewhat remote run on the outskirts of La Garde-Freinet. On the way back into town you’ll pass by a hunting lodge.
France – La Garde-Freinet Rando 3 – Notre-Dame de Miremer
Moderately challenging trail with a commanding hilltop view of the Gulf of Saint Tropez.
France – Saint-Tropez – Sentier du Littoral
A nice little run around Saint Tropez with beautiful views towards the Esterel Massif and past epic mansions on the water.
France – La Garde-Freinet Rando 11 – Le Moulin de l’Adrech
Relatively easy and short trail up to an ancient windmill and great views of the Gulf.
France – La Garde-Freinet Rando 1 – La Croix et le Fort and 12 – La Baume des Maures
Most popular and accessible trail in the La Garde-Freinet system. The La Baume des Maures section is difficult and relatively advanced.
France – La Garde-Freinet Rando 5 – Les Roche Blanches
Somewhat challenging trip to the relatively famous Roche Blanche. Definitely expected the rocks to be a bit bigger…
France – La Garde-Freinet Rando 2 – Saint-Clément
Nice short run down from La Garde-Freinet to a small chapel with interesting colored glass then back up the hill after winding through vineyards in the flats.
