Cap Sicié, Coastal cape in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France
Cap Sicié extends between Six-Fours-les-Plages and La Seyne-sur-Mer, forming the southernmost point of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region after Giens Peninsula.
A 14th-century watchtower near the cape was struck by lightning in 1625, leading to the construction of Notre-Dame du Mai Chapel as gratitude for the guards' survival.
Notre-Dame du Mai Chapel contains numerous ex-votos and paintings that document local maritime traditions and Mediterranean cultural connections through the centuries.
The forest surrounding Cap Sicié covers 1600 hectares, with marked hiking trails connecting Le Brusc district to Fabrégas through the coastal path.
From the 352-meter summit marked by a television tower, visitors can see the beaches of La Seyne-sur-Mer, Saint-Mandrier Peninsula, and Mediterranean panoramas.

The port city of Toulon on the French Mediterranean coast offers numerous subjects for photographers. The historic city centre displays buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries, including the Sainte-Marie-Majeure Cathedral and the town hall with its atlantes by Pierre Puget. The military harbour, one of France's main naval bases, presents warships and submarines. Mont Faron rises 584 metres above the city and provides views across the Toulon roadstead and coastline. The cable car leads to the summit, where the Memorial du débarquement en Provence is located. At the foot of the mountain lies the Mourillon district with its sandy beach and colourful facades along the promenade. The Cours Lafayette market takes place daily and showcases the region's Mediterranean produce. The Toulon Opera House, built in the 19th century, ranks among the largest opera houses in France outside Paris. The old harbour Darse Vieille displays fishing boats and yachts against the backdrop of limestone cliffs.
