À la Bouverie, entre le rocher de Roquebrune-sur-Argens et les gorges du Blavet, se cache un véritable joyau naturel : la forêt de Raphèle. Cet espace préservé séduit par ses chemins d’ocre et ses pins parasols qui composent un décor typiquement méditerranéen.
Inaugurés en mars 2024, trois sentiers balisés permettent de découvrir le site à son rythme : de la balade familiale de 4,2 km à la randonnée plus sportive de 10,5 km. Les chemins serpentent à travers la garrigue et offrent de magnifiques points de vue sur les collines environnantes et les gorges du Blavet.
Au fil du parcours, la nature se dévoile dans toute sa diversité : faune, flore et petits lacs cachés, dont le plus connu, le lac en forme de cœur, que l’on devine aisément depuis le sentier. Le parcours 1 et 2 sont accessibles aux poussettes tout-terrain, pour une découverte en famille.
> Informations pratiques : certaines descentes présentent une technicité, avec des passages rocailleux et instables, particulièrement glissants par temps pluvieux. En cas de fortes pluies, le franchissement du gué devient impraticable.
