Arboretum

In 1990, the municipality decided to create an Arboretum, a botanical path and a rest area in the communal forest. This relaxation area will welcome you in the shade of its large Aleppo pines and cork oaks. It is also the starting point for several hiking trails, all of which are signposted

The forest covers an area of 12,000 m2. There are 300 species of ornamental, forest and fruit trees and shrubs, including a collection of conifers. You will see, among others, the Sequoia sempervirens, the Araucaria imbricata, the Gingko biloba, the Liquidambar styraciflua...

From the Arboretum, you can access the botanical path where you will find the flora of our hills: cork oak, arbutus, rockrose, heather, myrtle....

69 species are represented with signposts, where the French name, the Latin name, the family and the properties of the plant are given. Six other panels also represent the footprints of the wild animals of the Maures (wild boar, hare, rabbit, badger, fox, deer). And let's not forget Hermann's tortoise, a protected species, a richness of the Maures massif.

You will also find a picnic area with a drinking water point.

From 21 June to 20 September, the hiking trails are subject to the rules of access to the forest massifs of the Var in order to respect the fire risk prevention plan. Before visiting the site during this period, call the Pierrefeu-du-Var tourist office or consult the Var prefecture website http://www.var.gouv.fr/ or the daily press (Var Matin).
