My holiday in Giens

Beware of fire during periods of drought and not strong wind. Check the closure of the massifs with the following link.

For many years the spots of the Almanarre and the Bergerie are the reference in the whole world for the practice of Windsurfing. Many international competitions are organized there.

A thrill-seeker, Magic World is an amusement park open from May to September. Young and old alike will find their happiness with rides for all ages.

A success both for the architecture of the buildings, the gardens but also the quality of the exhibitions proposed each year.

The visit of Hyères and its old town with the small electric tourist train is a pleasant way to discover the essential monuments and the Provencal traditions.

Cultural tour, besides its breathtaking view of the bay of Hyères and its modern architecture for the time (1920) the villa Noailles offers permanent and temporary exhibitions.

During the hot summer months a visit to the Cap Garonne Mine is very enjoyable with its 15°C constant all year round and its guided tours can be an interesting outing.

Housed in an old bank, this museum of recent design offers permanent exhibitions on the evolution of the coast and temporary exhibitions. The place is as appreciable for its architecture and gardens as for its exhibitions.

Very pretty Provencal village perched on the hill with a beautiful view of the coast, beautiful gardens and old stones. Certainly one of the most beautiful village in France.

At the foot of the Moors, Collobrières is a typical Provencal village that has preserved its charm and traditions. The chestnut festival in October, its traditional confectionery of iced chestnuts, its hikes with its dolmens and its monasteries (Chartreuse de la Verne of 1170) are all attractions not to be missed.

Perhaps the most internationally known village of the var with its many stars and large yachts. Traffic very difficult in summer.

The Var a department renowned for its rosé wines but not that. For several years now, winemakers and oenologists have been advancing Provence wine to make it one of the best in France. To discover many Domains (La Courtade, Fig, Ott, Léoube, Margueritte...) high quality nearby.

Beach extremely renowned for the transparency and color of its turquoise waters. A breathtaking landscape between the sea and the salt marshes on the other side. In the evening many tourists come to enjoy sumptuous sunset. It also welcomes during periods of strong winds the practice of Kitesurfing, Wing and Windsurfing.

A beach very appreciated by families because the depth remains low during a good distance, which allows the practice of many beach games (rackets, ball, volleyball...) The width of its beach, its fine sand and its sheltered exposure to the mistral (dominant wind) are all assets.

A true jewel, the fine white sand. Transparent and turquoise waters. Certainly one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
