Porquerolles by bike with Sandrine

1 day

Medium

It is a real pleasure to discover Porquerolles by bicycle, on the wide and shaded paths bordering the beaches with translucent waters and penetrating the maquis to discover all its secrets.

A circuit that leads us from the village to the lighthouse along the olive tree variety collections, making an incursion into the calanque de l'Indienne to take full advantage of the view on Port-Cros and Bagaud. Then stop at the lighthouse to discover the aspects of the wild coast and its colonies of birds before taking the bike again for the gorges of the wolf where an escape of some meters in the scrubland allows us to glimpse the roadstead of Toulon and the peninsula of Saint-Mandrier. Then we leave again to go along the lagoons and to apprehend the problem of the water on the island and the circuit which is dedicated to him. Stop stage at the beach of Argent, before putting on again its bicycle to return to the village and to continue our road until the point of Alycastre, splendid shaded route which lets glimpse escapes on the so blue sea.

À la rencontre de...

Originally from New Caledonia, Sandrine Masachs arrived in France at the age of 20. She first obtained a degree in Art History and then a BTS in Tourism, which gave her a tour guide card.

I have been guiding in the entire southern region since 2008, but today I mainly focus on the Var department. In recent years I have developed walks on protected natural sites or in the middle of nature.

But, for her, obtaining the mark Esprit parc national - Port-Cros, as a guide was a particular step:

I grew up in the middle of the forest, in a village surrounded by tribes, between sea and hills. So I have been aware of nature since childhood. I come from there, it's my universe. So the brand, yes, it's important.

To be distinguished in my work, to be consistent with my philosophy of life, and to offer products that favor this approach which consists in making the public aware of the protection of the natural spaces that we make them discover. And then to find myself in the framework of the islands to work, I am an islander, daughter of the sea as well as of the forest, it is an extraordinary chance. I come back to a familiar setting and I find my way of life there.
