Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer: guided hiking tour to Pointe Grenier｜France

The hike starts at the harbor of La Madrague, in a peaceful Provençal atmosphere where the boats gently sway to the rhythm of the water.

You first take a small, secret passage tucked between the houses, before heading down to Reinette Beach.
From there, the trail runs along the shore, almost with your feet in the water, offering beautiful views of the Mediterranean.

Shortly after the beach, a stop is a must in front of the petrifying spring with its travertine formation: a rare geological curiosity that your live guide will help you understand and observe up close.

The path then continues to the remains of the industrial past of Pointe Grenier, marked by the three iconic arches of the old plaster kilns.
Here, your live guide will take you back in time to the history of this site that shaped local activity in the past.

As you reach the upper part of the headland, you will discover the restored remains of a former military battery: a chapel, a powder magazine, barracks, and a watchtower are revealed as you climb.
From the highest point, it's time for contemplation: the view of the Bay of Lecques and the Bec de l'Aigle of La Ciotat rewards the efforts of the walk.

The return trip is along the same route (round-trip only), at the leisurely pace of this 2-km guided hiking tour lasting about 1 hour and 30 minutes, suitable for the whole family.
