Between plateau and low gorges, this itinerary is remarkable for its landscapes and for the richness of its biodiversity. Of great heritage value, this environment has an exceptionally rich and fragile flora and fauna. Dogs are not allowed.
Adopt an eco-citizen behavior: stay on the marked trail, no wild picking, bring back your waste. Swimming is forbidden in the Verdon, so be sure to wear shoes and carry enough water.
  • Tips
    Possibility of participating in a guided tour of this path (discovery booklet of the Regional Natural Park of the Var)
    Visit of the Ste Maxime chapel where a mass is held every year for the May 16th pilgrimage. After the mass, the Quinsonnais ask for the blessing of the genet which they keep preciously until the following year. There are very beautiful Provençal songs in honor of Saint Maxime, the patron saint of the village.
