Resort Description
Cavalaire-sur-mer: the bay, marina, hiking between the Customs Trail and the forest of mimosa, pine and eucalyptus trees.
This is a pilot town for the Clean Harbour campaign of the Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur region.
The man-made lake is the favourite training place for many jet-ski enthusiasts.
The surrounding area
The Massif des Maures reaching from Hyères (43 km) to Saint-Raphaël (43 km): the coast, with its numerous resorts, offers viewpoints and attractive sites all along the magnificent tourist route called the "Corniche des Maures" (from Hyères to La-Croix-Valmer).
Inland, the countryside has many shady valleys and wild ravines.
The Hyères Isles, also called the "îles d’Or", are true botanical reserves. Boat rides to:
- Ile de Porquerolles: the largest isle (7 km long and 3 km wide).
- Port Cros Island: listed National Park.
- Levant Island: with its 8 km-long rocky ridge surrounded by inaccessible cliffs.
Saint-Tropez peninsula: landscape with a mixture of vineyards, lines of cypress trees and dramatic umbrella pines. The coast is protected by a conservation group, the Conservatoire du Littoral, and offers contrasting landscapes ranging from the rocky cliffs at Capes Camarat, Taillat and Lardier and the fine sand beaches at Pampelonne cove.
To be seen: Gassin (10 km) and Ramatuelle (13 km), two picturesque villages built on the hills and boasting magnificent panoramas.
