Carqueiranne
Carqueiranne is a picturesque Provencal harbour town located in the Golfe de Giens in the Var department, just 13 km from Toulon and 6 km from Hyères. Unlike its neighbour Hyères, Carqueiranne is a more modest resort town that invites you to a more laid-back experience. The small harbour, which offers an appreciated local atmosphere, is surrounded by an impressive 7 km stretch of coastline with golden sandy beaches stretching invitingly towards the azure Mediterranean Sea. Here you can find your perfect spot for sunbathing, swimming or simply soaking up the warm Provençal sun. Carqueiranne is also known for its rich variety of water activities. Whether you're into water sports like paddleboarding and kayaking or want to take a relaxing boat trip, there are plenty of opportunities to dive into the maritime world. The friendly atmosphere and clear waters invite a day of fun and adventure for the whole family. Thanks to the southern microclimate, the area has been home to thriving horticulture for centuries. Greenhouses and flower cultivation characterise the landscape, and Carqueiranne is famous as the capital of tulip cultivation. Visit the colourful tulip fields blooming in beautiful hues and be enchanted by the fresh scents and colours that fill the air. This is a perfect opportunity to create unique photo memories and experience the authentic Provencal charm. Whether you want to relax by the beach, enjoy water sports or explore the beauty of the surrounding area, Carqueiranne offers a perfect blend of relaxation and activity.
