Six-Fours-les-Plages
Generous by natureSporting spirit on land and at sea
Six Fours-les-Plages combines a rich cultural past, 18 kilometers of coastline and the Cap Sicié massif. In the past, it included up to 120 hamlets. Today, the Lônes district near Sanary, La Coudoulière, Le Brusc and the Gaou peninsula are all popular with holidaymakers. Six Fours-les-Plages is the ideal destination for hikers and water sports enthusiasts. And if you feel like playing robinsons, head off to Les Embiez, a preserved paradise island just 10 minutes by boat from the mainland, ideal for recharging your batteries.
Le Gaou, a touch of elsewhere
The Gaou peninsula is a natural setting accessible via a wooden footbridge. In contrast to the blond limestone of the Provence-Mediterranean coastline, its basalt rocks give it an air of otherworldliness. The garrigue-scented vegetation quickly reminds you that you’re in the South. Its small coves, hidden by pine trees shaped by the wind, invite you to take a swim. When the Mistral wind blows or at sunset, the spectacle offered by nature feeds your emotions.
Setting sail
If you love sports and water activities, your stay in Six-Fours will satisfy all your desires. In windy conditions, the coastline of Six-Fours is renowned for funboarding and wing foiling. When the bay is calmer, you can kayak or paddle along the coast, try your hand at diving and discover the seabed. Sea outings to the islands or coves complete the generous range of activities available to beginners and experienced sportsmen and women alike.
Culture everywhere in Six-Fours
Six-Fours also lives to the rhythm of its events, which generate a real cultural momentum among a wide audience. The “La Collégiale” festival and “La Vague Classique” welcome you to the town’s most prestigious venues: the Maison du Cygne and Maison du Patrimoine, two of the four sites of the “Pôle Arts Plastiques”, or the Saint-Pierre collegiate church, the only vestige of old Six-Fours.
Le Brusc
The hamlet of Le Brusc, at the tip of Six-Fours, is a typical Mediterranean fishing village. Walking on the port, listen in on the locals’ conversations, chat with the fishermen or join in a game of “pétanque” (bowls). You’ll soon realize: Le Brusc is a village like no other.
