Sainte-Christine walking tour

This family hike on the Sainte-Christine Sensitive Natural Area will make you discover a departmental property through its typically Provencal forest as well as two chapels marking the limit between the communes of Cuers and Solliès-Pont.

About

Two wall-to-wall chapels: on the left, from the back, the Solliès-Pontoise chapel (founded in the middle of the 11th century; enlarged in the middle of the 16th century); on the right, from the front, the Cuersoise chapel (built in the middle of the 16th century).
Only 50 centimetres separate them.
The walk offers panoramic views of the La Crau plain, the Fenouillet, the Cuers bar and the Pilon Saint-Clément, the Coudon, the Massif des Maures and the wine-growing plain of Pierrefeu du Var.
To reach the two chapels from Solliès-Pont take the direction of Solliès-Toucas. At the roundabout just after the bakery turn right towards Sainte-Christine. Follow this sign to the sensitive natural area.
The hike starts from the car park below the chapels. Take the path slightly to the left, heading west. An arrow post indicates the start of the walk. Follow the direction "Le Verger" at 1 050 m.
Take the winding path through the garrigue. At the bottom of the descent, turn right along the cool, shaded undergrowth path. 500 m further on, you will pass a small ruin where you will find some picnic tables.
Continue straight on for 300 m. In an area of slabs, take the path on your right that will bring you back to the starting point.
