In the footsteps of the mule drivers.
From the Tourist Office, climb the steps to Place de la Castellane. Enjoy a beautiful viewpoint over the bay and the marina.
Cross the square in the middle and take Rue des Paquebots, then continue straight on via the double staircase.

In the middle of the hill, take the old stone-paved path on the right, bordered by beautiful dry stone walls, which leads to Col du Perdiguer (120m).
Cross the road and continue straight through the vineyard towards Cosprons.
Head to the left.
