La Petite Suisse

Learn about La Croix Valmer's rich history : from the ruins of the Roman villa Pardigon to its rich 19th century architectural heritage, from its winemaking history to the coastal paths once travelled by customs officers. Suggestion: Leave around 11 a.m. for a lunch break at one of the Croisiens restaurants on the Plage du Débarquement. At the Croix roundabout, opposite the Tourist Office, take the underpass and head down Boulevard Tabarin towards “Tabarin, Vergeron, Gigaro”. Turn right onto Rue de l’Eglise, then take the next right. At the junction, take the path opposite on the right towards “Plages”. Follow the vineyards on your left. At the Y-junction, take the greenway on your left. After the vineyards, you can take the Fitness Trail and the Botanical Trail which branch off to the right, or continue straight ahead (the two paths eventually meet). Cross the stream on your left, then take the path on the right between the vineyards. Cross the other stream and take the track straight ahead. At the end of the path, cross the road and turn right. At the roundabout, turn left to reach Débarquement Beach. Here, you have two options: - Return via the same route - Or, go back to the roundabout and take the underpass on the left. At the exit, turn immediately left and head up Boulevard de la Mer to the junction with the shared-use path. Turn right towards “Le Village”. At the junction with Chemin de Provence, turn right, still heading towards “Le Village”. At the top of Chemin de Provence, walk past the children’s playground on the right and continue straight on to reach the Tourist Office.

The Androuno (the narrowest street of the world)
2.8 km

The Androuno (the narrowest street of the world)

The Androuno is the narrowest street of the World : at its narrowest point, tt measures 29 centimeters wide (11.41 inches), letting only one person pass at a time! It presents all the picturesque charm of the perched village of Gassin. Gassin has the "smallest street in the world", the Androuno. Its name comes from the Latin 'andron', derived from the Greek ἀνδρών, men. He designated among the Greeks a part of the dwellings reserved for men. For Vitruvius and Pliny the Younger, the name characterized a passage between two houses or between two parts of the same house. There are many 'androuno' in Provence. The term has long been attested and has appeared in glossaries and dictionaries since the 18th century. Frédéric Mistral, in his Tresor dòu Felibrige, gives the definition of this word: "alley", "cul-de-sac", "void that separates two houses", or "tower of the ladder", which can also evoke a reduced , a hiding place or a latrine. The androuno can therefore be a narrow and uninviting alley, and therefore reserved for men. This is the theory mentioned by Canon François Durand. According to Claude-François Achard, the androuno is an "alleyway, a place to hide." Consistent with the architecture of Mediterranean villages, these "covered passages provide effective ramparts against the assaults of the mistral, the summer heat wave, the sleet of spring or the snow showers". Today, several more or less fanciful functions are attributed to it: use in counting, or even the selection according to their size, of sheep, allowing the flow of water during severe thunderstorms or preventing the arrival of a man in arms. The street has been recognized as the narrowest in the world by National Geographic, TF1, Ouest France, France 3 among others!
