Go build sandcastles, dive into clear, refreshing water, lose yourself in the horizon, but also visit cafés, bars, shops, and galleries... In short, escape and take off... Come on, hop in, we're taking you for a ride.
In Toulon, gazing toward Hyères
Less than 20 kilometres separate them, yet could Toulon and Hyères be more different? The Navy on one side, surfers on the other; a harbour facing gardens; mountains balanced by islands. There’s no need to choose: sleep here, dine there, and drift between the two—the promise of a thoroughly rewardin...
