Maps and Local Interest
This
is not the place here to review all of Six-Fours' attractions. Suffice it to
provide a few links that will enable you to plan better your coming and browse
some of the local webpages.
Mapping
the City and the Flats
.Coming
from the ‘autoroute’, take the La Seyne / Camp Laurent exit and follow the
direction Six-Fours. You will have to drive straight on for about a mile,
passing by an Auchan supermarket and a McDonald’s restaurant. At the third
roundabout, you will enter Six-Fours and you’ll find out that our street is
located on the right at the second lights. It leads to the military fort and the ancient church (the ‘collégiale’)
uphill.
To locate
the block on a map, enter 105 Montée du fort 83140 SIX-FOURS, France using maporama.
Web
Resources about the City
A good
place for you to start with is the English page provided by Provenceweb. It covers the
seaside with some nice pictures, lists of restaurants and links with
neighbouring cities.
Another
obvious spot is the town hall's site as the city sponsors all the
major attractions, such as the "Les voix du gaou" music festival in
late July and August.
Many
cultural events are organized each summer (Avignon theatre festival, classical
music in Aix-en-Provence, jazz in Toulon, theatre in Ramatuelle…). You can book
tickets for these at fnac.com.
Some
French and foreign pages deal with windsurfing, for which Six-Fours is one of
the best known spots in the Mediterranean.
Finally,
you will maybe discover that the city is blessed with beautiful Mediterranean
woods as well as beaches. So bringing a bike to go to the strand or climb steep
hills could be a good idea. Needless to say that these hills will reward your
efforts with beautiful views on the sea…
Some
more
If your
French is fluent enough, the best thing however remains to visit the local paper's website or better ask them
for a newsletter.
If you come
in summer, you could inquire about ongoing festivals…
Eventually,
the categories for the Var and Six-Fours of the French
Yahoo! Directory may be well worth a visit.
