To survey Porquerolles is to discover a true paradise for nature lovers. The route is punctuated with historical comments while focusing on the typical flora of the Mediterranean maquis.
From the Fort Sainte Agathe, to the Mill, passing by the Plain of Olives, the visit will also emphasize the Biodiversity present on the island by evoking the Cultures of the Botanical Conservatory of Porquerolles in the middle of the plots of fig trees or mulberry trees. During a Discovery Day on the island, this route is enriched with a complementary offer. After having a picnic on the Courtade Beach, we cross the island towards the South coast to appreciate the sublime landscapes: Viewpoints of the Calanque de l'indienne, the Lighthouse, the Gorges du Loup. Continuation towards the Conservatory orchards (Fig trees, Fejouas, Pomegranate trees...), to finish on the sublime Silver Beach. This route allows you to be against the flow of visitors and to understand different aspects of Porquerolles. Target audience Adults, families, seniors, schools

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.
