Trott’Elec – Bargème course

Presentation of the course

Discovering the highest village in the Var

Get off the beaten track with this route rich in heritage. This all-terrain electric scooter ride will seduce you with a route that is little frequented and little known to holidaymakers but just as splendid to do.

This route starts from Bargème. Perched at 1,097 meters above sea level, it is the highest village in the Var and offers breathtaking views of the valley. Dominated by the towers of its medieval castle , this listed site will delight lovers of old stones and medieval heritage.

It is a route that takes us back in time with the Notre Dame des Sept Douleurs chapel dating from the ^17th century and restored in 2009, located near the Bargème castle.

With this brand new eco-friendly machine, the electric scooter , take a breath of fresh air throughout the course crossing the Brouis mountain , its fields and forests with the scent of pine and thyme.

Departing from the Notre Dame des Sept Douleurs chapel in Bargème, you will follow a forest track route, along the Artuby river to arrive at the Pont de Madame (or more commonly known as the Pont de la Serre).

Before getting there, make a stopover to see the small chapel of Saint Blaise de La Martre which stands in the middle of a grassy platform. It dates from the ^17th century and seems to have been larger in the past.

The turquoise blue color of the water and the environment around you will seduce you. You can contemplate the Artuby river and the forests that run along it.
