Hiking
Nestled at the foot of Son Baou, the perched village of Saint-Jeannet embodies Provençal authenticity and offers a breathtaking view of the entire Côte d'Azur. The hike begins in the heart of the village, where the tightly packed houses form a rampart around the church.
Quickly, you begin the climb towards the Baou de Saint-Jeannet, following the Castellet circuit. The more curious and sporty can even continue to the ruins, although this extends the hike by a few kilometers.
Once at the top of the limestone massif, a ridge path leads to a rocky promontory offering a spectacular view of the surrounding area. On the way back down, you can return directly to the starting point or take a detour to the Notre-Dame-des-Baous Chapel, nestled at the foot of the rocky cliffs.
