Hiking - The Notre-Dame de Liesse Chapel

At the top of the ridges of the Var, enjoy panoramas at 360° endless forests and mysterious Chapels.

On the hills of the Haut Var, you will discover the Chapels of Notre Dame de Liesse and de Saint-Priest perched on the ridge. Up there, the trail sometimes travels between the sunny and shady sides and offers remarkable views, from the Mediterranean coast to the peaks of the Alps. The length and diversity of this hike let you discover a dozen species of orchids during spring.

We recommend doing this hike over an entire day (remember to pack a picnic). Avoid the hot summer temperatures, leave early. Remember to pack at least 2L of water per person, a hat and proper walking shoes. In summer time, find out whether the forests are open to the public (fire risk).
