Climb the 16th-century hilltop fort for the single best panorama of the town, the gulf, and the Massif des Maures — then walk the ramparts as the light turns gold.
What to expect
A short uphill walk from the port through quiet residential lanes leads to the fort. Inside, the compact maritime museum traces the town's fishing and naval history, but the real draw is the terrace view — red rooftops, the gulf, and yachts laid out below. Come an hour before your ship's departure window closes for the softest light.
Good to know
No booking needed; buy tickets on arrival. Go either early morning or a couple of hours before sunset to avoid midday heat and coach groups; wear proper shoes for the cobbled climb.
