Cap Sicié, Coastal cape in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France

Cap Sicié is a rocky cape on the French Riviera between Six-Fours-les-Plages and La Seyne-sur-Mer. Its plateau rises to about 352 meters and is covered with pine forest crossed by paths leading down to the sea.

A 14th-century watchtower stood on the cape until lightning struck it in 1625. The guards survived the strike, and in thanks the Notre-Dame du Mai chapel was built on the headland. The chapel later became a stopping point for sailors and fishermen rounding the cape.

The chapel's name, Notre-Dame du Mai, refers to the maypole-like tree erected beside it on 1 May, a tradition tied to the site's founding. Votive plaques left by fishermen and sailors give thanks for safe returns to shore, showing how the sea shaped daily life for local communities and their bond with this headland.

The cape lies about 10 km southwest of Toulon, with the coast and sea immediately to its south. Paths climb from the lower ground to the plateau and viewpoints; wear sturdy shoes, as the trails are steep and wet rock becomes slippery.

The cape lies about 10 km south of Toulon, and the surrounding land drops steeply to the sea on its southern side. The summit plateau is flat toward the west but mountainous toward the east, so the view changes sharply over a short walk.
