Description

Your hike begins at the picturesque port of La Madrague, a small haven of peace nestled between the hills and the Mediterranean. From the very first steps, you're immersed in the atmosphere of Provence, with the sea as your backdrop. You then leave the coast behind to take a path through the vineyards: here, your guide reveals the local winegrowing history, the grape varieties grown and the importance of terroir in Saint-Cyr's identity. The route continues through the garrigue, where the scents of pine, thyme and rosemary accompany your gradual ascent. At the top of the sand dune, an exceptional geological formation several thousand years old, you'll enjoy a spectacular panorama of Saint-Cyr bay and the Bec de l'aigle in La Ciotat. Your guide will explain how this dune has formed over the years. Take a break at the summit to contemplate the view, understand this unique landscape shaped by time, and of course take all the souvenir photos you want! This hike is of medium difficulty (but you'll need to be prepared for a good climb!) and combines nature, heritage and knowledge, for an authentic experience between land and sea. Our 4-legged companions are welcome on a leash!
