Le Lavandou

The Var Departement - Population : 5,219 inh.

On the coastal road (D559), between Hyeres (22 km) and Cavalaire (20 km).

Le Lavandou is located at the foot of the Massif des Maures, by the sea between Toulon and St Tropez. Enjoying the famous mild and dry climate of the Var with nearly 300 days of sunshine a year, the Lavandou bay extends in a green setting over more than 12km along the Mediterranean. Formerly a small fishing port, Le Lavandou is today an important tourist destination with a vast marina and fishing port wonderfully situated opposite the Iles d'Or : Le Levant island and Port Cros island.

With no less than 12 beaches, 12 real jewels of fine sand carefully maintained and supervised, Le Lavandou is one of the most famous seaside resorts in the Var.
Vast sandy beaches, small intact and wild coves, are available to you in complete safety. Steep, family, sports ... you can test them one by one before choosing your favorite.

They each have a name: Anglade, Grande Plage, Saint-Clair beach, Fossette beach, Aiguebelle beach, Elephant beach, Jean-Blanc beach, Rossignol beach, Layet, Cavalière beach, Cap Negre beach, Pramousquier beach.
A paradise for divers, the quality of its water, its seabed and beaches have been awarded several labels:Pavillon Bleu (Blue Flag, beach, port and water quality), Starfish Pavilion (Qualimer, seawater quality), Pelagos (marine mammal sanctuary).

From the port of Lavandou, you can take one of the many daily shuttles to reach the magnificent Ile de Porquerolles, Iles du Levant or Ile de Port Cros.
Boat trips are also offered to discover the Var coastline on the sea side up to Fort de Bregançon in Bormes (summer residence of the President of the Republic) or to Saint Tropez.

You will see the dream villas which follow one another on estates overlooking the sea, with luxury boats at anchor.
A superb walk by the sea is to be done by the coastal path, it is 3 km of happiness from the Port of Lavandou (departure on the right of the tunnel), passing by Saint Clair and La Fossette.

Inland, a pretty 6km walking circuit that starts from Lavandou is marked up to the old village of Bormes: the Saint-François path, (marked in red).
The Lavandou territory has nothing to do with the former small fishing village it once was.

It is divided into 5 major districts located along its bay: Saint Clair, La Fossette, Aiguebelle, Cavaliere and Pramousquier.
Despite the summer crowds, all the tourist accommodation and the many recent constructions that have modified this part of the Var coast, Le Lavandou remains a privileged site.
