Cap Taillat, Mediterranean cape in Draguignan, France.

Cap Taillat is a cape and peninsula on the Mediterranean in the Var, marking the boundary between Ramatuelle and La Croix-Valmer. The peninsula is about 800 m long and rises to 65 m, joined to the mainland by a sandy isthmus of nearly 100 m that floods in heavy seas. Ruins of early 19th-century coastal defences stand on its summit.

A major fire swept through the site in July 2017, destroying vegetation across a large area. This event led to increased conservation efforts to help the landscape recover naturally.

Cap Taillat appeared in Le Gendarme en balade (1971) and La Scoumoune (1972), which brought tourists to the site. For La Scoumoune, a scene of prisoners clearing mines from a beach after World War II was filmed: bulldozers dug trenches and explosions destroyed dunes and plants, and the tombolo, once 100 m wide, shrank severely.

The cape is reached on foot via a path starting at Plage de Gigaro near La Croix-Valmer, crossing Cap Lardier and the Baie de Briande; the same path continues to Plage de l'Escalet in Ramatuelle. The sandy isthmus linking the peninsula to the coast floods in heavy seas. Access to the forest massif is regulated by a prefectural order of 19 June 2018, modified, to limit fire risk.

Cap Taillat is one of the few places in France where the European dwarf palm, Chamaerops humilis, the only palm native to Europe, grows wild. On the sandy isthmus linking the headland to the shore, look for the rare sea holly (Eryngium maritimum).
