"La Calade" circular walk

Explore the hills lined with the La Garde mountain stream and the old road which leads to the village, and discover the Saint-Joseph wayside shrine.

All year round.

Start in the car park below the Saint Roche windmill.
This circular walk is the same as the Pierredon, except you go straight ahead at the footbridge, along the river. Continue for 250m and at the junction go straight ahead and along the river. There are little huts amongst the vines.
Continue for 700m and cross the bridge, on the right head for “le chemin de la calade”, from “calado” which means “paved path” in Provençal dialect.
Climb for 700m until you arrive at the Saint Joseph wayside shrine.
This road is the former track between Grimaud and Saint-Maxime.
Keep climbing straight ahead until you reach the main road.
Take the main road until you reach the Tourist Information Office. Return to the starting point using the "Pierredon" itinerary.
