GR®90

From Le Lavandou to Notre Dame des Anges (Var)

The Massif des Maures, one of the oldest geological formations in Provence. Its name, derived from the Provençal word maouro (“dark wood”), evokes the density of its forest cover. The GR90 long-distance hiking trail traverses landscapes of rare diversity: cork oak forests, harvested for centuries; ancient chestnut groves around Collobrières; and fragrant scrubland of heather and strawberry trees. The ascent culminates at the sanctuary of Notre-Dame des Anges (768 m), founded, according to legend, by the son of Clovis in 517. From this spiritual vantage point, hikers can enjoy a 360° panorama stretching from the Îles d'Hyères to the snow-capped peaks of the Alps, overlooking a sea of green that has remained fiercely preserved.
