Set on the wooded Maures coast, this former fishing village is now a very popular resort, fringed by a dozen beaches made up of 12 different colours of sand. Dolphins are still sighted along the bay and Le Lavandous attractive old town is pedestrianised. From the port there are regular ferries to the delightful Iles dHyères islands. Inland, the fragrant Provençal hillside town of Bormes les Mimosas is a magnet for tourists and flower lovers.
