Le Revest
Authentic ProvenceHigh walk
Le Revest-les-Eaux is a small village perched 8 kilometers from the center of Toulon. Nestled at the foot of Mount Caume, behind Mount Faron, the village is well known to hikers and climbers for its rare natural setting. It’s a village that has retained its authenticity, its Provencal soul and its vitality. The people of Le Revest are committed to bringing their village and its history to life: the medieval keep, the feudal castle and dovecote, the museum of sacred art, the dam and its lake are all remarkable sites to explore on a stroll in the heart of unspoilt nature.
The village
The village of Le Revest-les-Eaux is a true postcard of Provence: its central, friendly square is the starting point for a maze of cobbled streets that climb up to the medieval tower. From this rocky promontory, the 360° view of Toulon, the sea, Mount Faron, Mount Caume, the dam and its lake is splendid. As you stroll through the village, you’ll come across the typical colorful houses, the pleasant shade of the arbors, the flowering plants that line the path: in short, the very essence of Provence.
Lake and dam
Overlooked by hills covered in Aleppo pines and oaks, the emerald lake inspires calm and contemplation. Created in 1912 with the commissioning of the Dardennes dam and fed by submerged springs, this Natura 2000 listed site is a peaceful paradise for fishing enthusiasts. A popular place to relax and stroll for local people and visitors alike, the undergrowth bordering the lake is one of the starting points for hikes in the surrounding hills.
