A single road leads to this small port where life is good... On foot, passing through the stalls of the Quai Saint Pierre market (Thursday mornings) and admiring the "Pointus" returning from fishing, you can reach the Gaou peninsula...

The Cap Nègre Battery
The Cap Nègre Battery is a military coastal defense structure. Its position between the bay of Sanary and the harbor of Le Brusc gave it an essential role in protecting the Toulon coastline.
Built in 1846 under the reign of Louis Philippe 1st, the Battery became an exhibition and museum center in 1999.
To get there, you'll have the pleasure of crossing the majestic "Mediterranean" park, a 7-hectare park with a botanical garden, vast expanses of lawn and a splendid view of the sea

The collegiate church of Saint Peter
The Collegiate Church of Saint Pierre, listed as a historic monument in 1840, is the only remaining building in the old village of Six Fours, which was abandoned by its inhabitants when the military authorities decided to demolish it to build the fort.
The original church is represented by the oriented, barrel-vaulted Romanesque section.
