Discover Roquebrune-Sur-Argens

Roquebrune-sur-Argens can be explored through a range of interests: hiking trails and natural areas sit alongside cultural sites, a market, and the ecological focus at Lac de l’Aréna. When planning your trip, it helps to decide first what you would like to focus on. Would you like to choose a hike with a named destination and panoramic views, compare different trails by difficulty, or include culture and local produce? These questions offer different perspectives on your stay and give you a concrete starting point for finding a hotel.

Hiking at Rocher de Roquebrune

Rocher de Roquebrune is a place of exceptional character, rising to 373 metres. The hiking trails there have been officially marked since June 2022. They include the climb to the Trois Croix, with a 360-degree panorama of the Estérel, the Maures, the Mediterranean and the Southern Alps. This describes a hike with a clearly named destination and expansive views in every direction. Seasonal restrictions due to fire risk may affect access. If this hike is part of your plans, check the latest information beforehand.

Beyond this single route, Roquebrune-sur-Argens has eight natural areas with more than 20 hiking trails of varying difficulty. You can compare the panoramic hike to the Trois Croix with a wider selection and consider difficulty as a factor when choosing a route. The trails present different challenges.

Nature and trails at Site du Blavet

A different aspect of nature takes centre stage at Lac de l’Aréna. The reeds provide nesting habitat for birds and a breeding ground for fish; the sandy banks are used by European bee-eaters. For nature lovers, the appeal here lies in these habitats. However, sightings of birds or European bee-eaters are not guaranteed.

Site du Blavet in La Bouverie opened in 2022 and offers three hiking trails. The yellow and green trails are also accessible with all-terrain strollers. If you are travelling with one, the trail colours provide a practical guide. The prehistoric caves at Site du Blavet are protected; their history is explained on information panels.

Cultural sites and local produce

Chapelle Saint-Pierre was listed as a historic monument by decree on 24 February 1926. The parish church of Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul was listed by decree on 18 June 1987. These two dates give you specific points of reference if you would like to include monuments in your trip plans.

La Maison du Chocolat et Cacao offers a different cultural perspective. It is located in a former 17th-century chapel. The objects on display illustrate the history of cocoa from its origins to the present day. Chocomômes also offers a space with games and colouring pages for children. This site brings together the history of cocoa and a dedicated offering for children.

The Friday morning market in the village, held on Place Perrin, is also part of the local character. Locals, tourists and local producers meet there, and products from the Provençal region are on offer. If visiting the market is an essential part of your plans, check the date before your trip.
