A little cave, easy to access...

My experience, Explo description: 

The cave is located close to the ridge of the Gros Cerveau mountain, overlooking Toulon and the sea.

Unfortunately, when I went there, I had no light, but the cave seems to be quite deep!

My personal recommendations: 

Visiting the cave is a very good pretext for a nice tour walking tour on the ridge of the Gros Cerveau mountain, from the fort du Gros Cerveau to the Fort de la Pointe (3.4km to go). Very nice views all along the way.

How getting there: 

The cave is about 1km east from the fort de la Point, walking on the ridge track. It is located on the northern side of the mountain. Access from a little pass (see the signs).

Once in Ollioules, follow the signs to the "Gros Cerveau". A road climbs up to there. Due to fire risks, it is not possible to access to its top in summer time.

A tip to eat: 

Take a pic nic.
