The Verne hike

Discover the Maures mountain range on a mountain bike and enjoy the sensations. From the Croix d'Anselme car park, enjoy a 1 km descent on the RD 14, surrounded by chestnut trees. At the intersection, turn right towards Col des Fourches Gonfaron. At the arrow post "Vallon de Rascas" take the direction of Valescure and prepare your calves to start the climb for about 10 km until the arrow post "Cros de Mouton". On arrival take the direction of La Garde-Freinet, continue for 1 km and turn right at the intersection towards Capelude. Hilly climb for 700 m on a sandy track until you reach the top of Le Défens. Here, take the time to stop and enjoy the panoramic view of the whole Collobrières forest and the sea. Enjoy the next 8 km of descent on a partly dirt and partly stony track surrounded by typical Mediterranean vegetation. On the way you can stop at the Treps reservoir, where picnic tables are available for a break. You can also admire the Chartreuse de la Verne in the distance. At the end of this descent, you will arrive on the RD 14, which you will have to climb for 400m to join the path on the left on the dirt roadside, which will take you to the ascent of the Chartreuse de la Verne on a trail of about 9.5 km with no difficulties or obstacles. On arrival you can visit the monument and enjoy the view towards the Maures massif. Then, follow the arrow post "Chartreuse 1" located at the entrance of the monument towards Plateau Lambert through the undergrowth. This shaded single is relatively technical with some passages on less important stones. Then take the Ragusse track on your right to enjoy a descent on a stony track for about 7 km. Remember to descend below the trail to admire the cedar forest about 2 km from the arrow post. Be careful, this is a very technical trail with a steep descent and a lot of vegetation for experienced mountain bikers. Tip: leave your mountain bike at the top of the track and walk the trail. At the end of this descent, when you reach a small ford, take the RD to the left for 400m and then to the left on the trail parallel to the departmental road. This single track has some small obstacles to overcome (tree roots), and there are 450 m to go before you return to the start car park.

From the hilltop village, the path leads you to the sea, offering remarkable views of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. You arrive at the Marines de Gassin and its shops passing near the Bourrian wineyard estate and the Stud / Polo Club.

Chartreuse de la Verne

Nestling in the heart of the Maures massif, the Chartreuse de la Verne offers a haven of silence, nature and ancient history. In the heart of the Maures massif, shrouded in forest and silence, the Chartreuse de la Verne emerges like a well-kept secret. Founded in 1170 on the ruins of an ancient priory, it has always borne the name Notre-Dame de la Verne. Its stones have withstood fire, pillage, war and the Revolution. Three fires in the Middle Ages reduced it to ashes. Each time, the monks rebuilt. Until 1792, when, forced to flee, they left behind an empty sanctuary, sold as national property. Nature then took over. Wind, rain, oblivion... Until, in 1968, a handful of enthusiasts founded the association Les Amis de la Verne. In 1986, around thirty nuns from the Bethlehem family revived the spiritual vocation of the site. Each of them lives in a hermitage, in silence, prayer and work. Their presence transforms the Carthusian monastery into a place of profound peace, which you feel as soon as you take your first steps. Today, part of the monastery is open to the public. Here you can discover the gatehouse, the bakery, a monk's cell and the 12th-century Romanesque church, the only place where visitors and nuns share a mutual respect and silence. Coming to La Verne is more than just visiting a monument. It's a moment of suspension, a break from the hustle and bustle. It's hearing the murmur of the centuries, feeling the strength of a place that has never ceased to be reborn. - How do you visit the Chartreuse de la Verne? The Monastery can be visited freely and independently. When you arrive, you will be given a tour booklet to guide you along the route. This booklet presents the main areas accessible to the public and guides you through the monument, following a defined route, for a calm and rewarding exploration. The visit takes place in a way that respects the silence and the monastic life that is still present here. - How much does it cost to visit the Chartreuse de la Verne? Adults: €7 Students: €5 Young people (aged 12 to 18): €3 Groups (10 people or more): €5 - How to get to the Chartreuse de la Verne The Chartreuse is accessible via the Route de la Verne, a narrow, winding road that crosses the Maures massif. Free parking is available at the end of the road. Access to the site is on foot along a dirt track about 700 metres long, with no difference in height, which takes about 10 minutes. Access not recommended for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes and coaches are not allowed. - Parking for vehicles and minibuses Limited number of parking spaces. For minibuses: parking can be reserved by calling 04 94 43 48 28. - Shop The monastic craft shop is open at the same times as the tour and is closed every Sunday. - Other practical information The monastery is closed in January, on religious holidays and every Tuesday after the All Saints' holiday until 31 March. Closed on days when the massifs are closed due to severe fire risks. Further information: www.risque-prevention-incendie.fr/83
