1) Starting out from the Tourist Office at the Maison de la Mer, between the promenade stretching along the beach and the marina. Take Rue du Port on the right opposite the Tourist Office and walk along the marina built in 1967. Every September, tuna fishermen set out from the marina for their catch. The promenade's boating shops, restaurants, ice-cream parlours, piano-bars and casino make it a really pleasant place for a stroll.

2) Next, take Rue du Cap to the market square (the market is held every Wednesday morning and sells a delicious range of local produce - honey, fruit, vegetables, olive oil, Provençal fabrics and craftwork). Treat yourself to a wicker basket !

3) After the market, head towards Rue Pierre et Marie Curie in the pedestrian zone near the Avenue des Alliés, reputed for its excellent shops.

4) Now head left under the porch at the bottom of Avenue des Alliés and on to Place Benjamin Gaillard, where you will see the Town Hall. This is the favourite haunt for local boules players. Fancy a go ?!

5) Then walk along the Promenade de la Mer on the left, where you will discover a variety of charming boutiques and sunny café and restaurant terraces. At the end of the promenade, cross over and turn back on your right via the pedestrian walkway which runs along the gorgeous sandy beach.
