Discover Hyères les Palmiers, a charming town in the Var department
Hyeres, the most southerly city of Provence ( and one of the sunniest), is on the same latitude as Cap Corse and Florence, Italy. The city and its peninsula offer 39 km of non-concrete coasts made of sandy beaches and wild rocky coves.
Hyeres, the city of palm trees, was once the favorite summer resort of celebrities, some of the intellectual elite and the rich. The magnificent homes that they built near the old city in the beginning of the century are still there.
Hyères is ideally located opposite the island of Porquerolles
The charm, climate and wonderful scenery make this a special place across the way from the Iles d'Or (Golden Islands) of Porquerolles, Port Cros and Le Levant. The port for private boats and its sheltered anchorage makes Hyères a first rate boating center.
With all the equipment available and the presence ot the French sailing team Hyeres is not about to relinquish its place as a boating port of international importance.
Enjoy the beach in Hyères
There are several lovely beaches in Hyères, and we particularly like the Pesquiers beach, which is quite secluded and quiet. You have to walk along a pretty pine forest before you reach it, and it's a little less crowded than the other beaches. The location is pleasant and the Mediterranean Sea is heavenly.
The Hyères market
The Hyères farmers' market takes place every Tuesday morning on Place de la République. It's a lovely Var market where you can stock up on good Provencal produce and local crafts. A great opportunity to visit Hyères after the market.
