Porquerolles - Le tour de l'île - Quand le printemps s'achève ...
Porquerolles s'anime aux beaux jours ... Voici une randonnée autour de l'île avec toujours ce cocktail grisant et inépuisable de couleurs, de senteurs, de panoramas magnifiques, mais aussi un dernier zeste de quiétude …
L’île de Porquerolles, 1252 hectares, environ 300 habitants à l'année, attire près d'un million de visiteurs par an, en particulier sur la période estivale …!
Cette boucle en images (condensé de deux randonnées pédestres réalisées au mois de mai) débute à l'est du village par une montée au fort Sainte Agathe et un détour au moulin du Bonheur. Commence alors sur la côte nord-est le tour d'une grande partie de l'île.
Direction les plages de la Courtade et de Notre-Dame presque désertes puis, après la traversée de la plaine Notre-Dame, c'est l'arrivée à la crique de la Galère sur la côte sud.
Cette côte sauvage offrant des vues spectaculaires et superbes nous mènera ensuite de la calanque des Salins au fort du Grand Langoustier.
De l'est à l'ouest, nous découvrirons successivement la pointe de l'Oustaou de Diou, la calanque de l'Indienne et après le passage près du Phare, la gorge du Loup, la pointe du Brégançonnet, les plages et le fort du Grand Langoustier.
Le retour au village par la côte nord passera notamment par la plage d'Argent.

Located between Marseille and Nice, Hyères is considered the original French Riviera, with the aristocracy regularly retreating to its winter warmth in the 18th century, followed by the artistic (Leo Tolstoy, Rudyard Kipling, DH Lawrence) not to mention royalty (Queen Victoria). Today the French (comprising 70% of Hyères’ tourism industry) have been largely keeping it to themselves. Not surprising, given the picturesque panoramas, award-winning beaches, exquisite food, gardens and maritime national park. Sorry France, the secret’s out: here’s our guide to the perfect weekend in Hyères.
Hyeres is a commune in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France. The old town lies 4 km (2.5 mi) from the sea clustered around the Castle of Saint Bernard, which is set on a hill. Between the old town and the sea lies the pine-covered hill of Costebelle, which overlooks the peninsula of Giens. Hyères is the oldest resort on the French Riviera.
Originally a possession of the Viscount of Marseilles, it was later transferred to Charles of Anjou. Louis IX King of France (often known as St Louis) landed at Hyères in 1254 when returning from the crusades. A commandry of the Knights Templar was based at the town in the 12th century, outside the town walls. The remaining remnant is the tower Saint-Blaise.
Its position facing the Mediterranean to the south makes it popular with tourists in the winter and makes it ideal for the cultivation of palm trees. About 100,000 trees are exported from the area each year. As a result, the town is frequently referred to as Hyères-les-Palmiers (palmiers meaning palm trees). The three islands of the Îles d'Hyères (namely, Porquerolles, Port-Cros, and the Île du Levant) are just offshore. Porquerolles and Port-Cros form the Port-Cros National Park. The commune has a land area of 132.38 square kilometres (51.11 sq mi).
The railway station Gare d'Hyères offers connections with Toulon, Marseille, Paris, and several regional destinations. The airport, which is known officially as the Toulon-Hyères International Airport, is 4 km (2.5 mi) to the southeast of the town centre, on a sandy plain close to the seashore. The area was first used by private aircraft at the beginning of the 20th century.
In 1920, after the marsh had been drained, French naval aircraft used the field, and, in 1925, it became an official base of the French Fleet Air Arm (Aéronavale). It has been a commercial airport since 1966, but the navy maintains a significant facility for helicopters and fixed wing aircraft within the perimeter. There are currently (2009) scheduled flights to and from Stockholm, Bristol, Ajaccio, Paris, London, Brest, Brussels, and Rotterdam.
