L'île du Gaou - Le petit Gaou -Le grand Gaou
Ile du Gaou partially closes off the Brusc lagoon. Indeed, along the port of Le Brusc, Ile du Gaou is reached by a bridge spanning the Isthmus of Gaou, the passage between the Mediterranean and the lagoon of Le Brusc. The bridge is adorned with a statue, "La venus sortant des flots", by Robert Forrer.
It is possible to cross from the Ile du Petit Gaou to the Ile du Grand Gaou via a footbridge over a small inlet, the "Petit Pas du Coq".
The greatest length of the Grand Gaou is 600 meters, with a maximum width of around 250 meters. It's all the more astonishing to have so many viewpoints from this "little island": the roadstead and bay of Sanary and Six Fours les Plages, Le Gros Cerveau, Le Bau de Quatre Oure, Mont Caume, the hill and fort of Six Fours. This is the "Grand Pas du Coq" or "Détroit du Grand Gaou" which separates Le Gaou from the Archipel des Embiez
Cap Sicié
Cap Sicié is part of the Monts Toulonnais. Located between the communes of La Seyne sur Mer and Six Fours les Plages, it is one of the southernmost points of the Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur region.
This rugged massif covers an area of approximately five thousand hectares. Its highest point, Notre Dame du Mai, rises to an altitude of 352 metres.
At the Massif's highest point, you can admire a panoramic view stretching from the Massif des Maures to the calanques of Marseille and the island of Riou, not forgetting the roadstead and islands of Hyères, the Giens peninsula and the Toulon roadstead, which spreads out at the foot of the Coudon, the Mont Faron chain, Mont Caume, the Bare des Quatre Ouro and Gros Cerveau...
