Twin rocky pinnacles off the Cap Sicié massif, south-west of La Seyne-sur-Mer.
Guide
Approach and anchoring
Approach from the north along the Sicié coast. Rock bottom, depths drop quickly to 25 metres close to the islets. The mooring buoys are kept mainly for dive boats, so the spot suits a settled-weather day stop rather than a night at anchor. Tenable only in light north-east or south-east breezes, vacate in a rising mistral or in any southerly swell.
Practical
No services. Saint-Elme 2.1 NM north-east is the nearest harbour with visitor berths, Le Lazaret 2.4 NM north-east inside the Rade des Vignettes offers fuel at Saint-Mandrier.
Ashore
The islets are a known dive site for their vertical rock faces dropping to 40 metres, with rock faults and small wrecks to explore. Dive centres operate out of La Seyne and Saint-Mandrier. GR 51 clifftop path accessible from the Fabrégas beach 1 NM north.
Story
The two rocks gave their name to the Janas forest viewpoint above them, a 300 metre ridge walk overlooking the Toulon bay.
