Please join us for an American Club of the Riviera Hike in the Var. This event will begin on Sunday, May 3rd, 2026 at 10am and will feature a 6-km loop trail near Le Muy in the Var, 20 minutes west of Frejus. Generally considered an easy route, this hike takes an average of 1 hour 40 minutes to complete. This is a very popular area for hiking and running, so we will likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. Magnificent scenery, including two lakes along the trail. Not difficult, this hike can be done with children who like to walk. For the little ones, bring a baby carrier. Not accessible to baby carriages/strollers. Join us for an optional after-hike lunch at a bistro in the nearby village of La Motte.
Meeting place and parking: We will meet at 170 Chemin des Pesquiers, 83490 Le Muy, France, where there is plenty of parking along the street.
