The coastal path
Put on your sneakers and set off on the Giens coastal path. If you're feeling sporty, you'll find it easy to complete the 20km it takes to walk all the way around the peninsula. Beware: some sections are steep. You've got to earn your way around a picture postcard landscape!
La Brasserie des îles
The restaurant La Brasserie des îles will delight all lovers of the sea. We particularly salute its responsible commitment to guaranteeing short circuits. The menu features fresh, local produce. A la carte: homemade ice creams and fish from the day's catch, served on colorful, appetizing plates.
Le Reine Jane
Looking for a mythical spot for dinner or a drink in a cinema setting? The Reine Jane bar serves up local produce in a 50s-style hotel. Its 200 m2 roof terrace offers panoramic views of the sea and pine trees, in an intimate lounge atmosphere.

Almanarre beach
This beach, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful on the coast, stretches over 4 km of sand and pebbles, bordered by crystal-clear waters. It is laid out in delimited areas dedicated to bathing or water-based activities such as windsurfing, paddleboarding or kite-surfing.
The Bergerie market
Looking for fresh produce? You'll find what you're looking for at the Bergerie market in Hyères. Bakers, fishmongers, greengrocers, cheesemongers... all await you with their local specialities, which you can also sample on the spot, on a small terrace overlooking the sea.
The Château de Hyères hike
Since the 11th century, Hyères has boasted the largest feudal castle in Provence. It is embellished by a remarkable 6500 m2 terraced garden. Several walking trails of varying distances invite you to take a tour of the castle and admire it from every angle.

Catamaran outing
Take a catamaran outing to visit some of the most beautiful sites along the coast. Glide over crystal-clear waters to discover the region's beaches and heavenly coves. You're sure to find what you're looking for - by the hour, by the day or for dinner.
The Carmignac Foundation
The Fondation Carmignac, in Porquerolles, offers a contemporary art collection of 300 works. It also awards a photojournalism prize, enabling the winner to produce investigative reports on human rights violations.
The Rayol estate
The Domaine du Rayol is a small Garden of Eden on the corniche des Maures. Species from all regions of the globe enchant the 20-hectare paradise known as the Mediterranean Garden. Its educational activities aim to raise awareness of ecology.
The Londe trail
For hiking enthusiasts, we particularly recommend the Bormes-les-Mimosas coastal path. The route is enchanting, crossing beaches and crystal-clear coves for a permanent sense of wonder. A word of caution, however: some sections are considered strenuous, even dangerous.
