Le Lavandou
Le Lavandou is a charming little holiday resort picturesquely located midway between Toulon and St-Tropez. This gem on the coast is breathtakingly beautiful and lies at the foot of the lush Massif des Maures, France's southernmost mountain range. This vast and relatively deserted area is characterised by unique natural forests of chestnut, pine and cork, creating a perfect setting for adventure and exploration. For any nature lover, driving around these green mountains is a great experience, where you can find trails leading to amazing viewpoints and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. Historically, Le Lavandou was an insignificant little fishing village located opposite the picturesque rocky island of Île d'Or, famous from Hergé's Tintin and the Black Island. This connection to the famous comic strip adds a special magic to the place and many visitors find joy in exploring the natural beauty of the island. Today, Le Lavandou offers a cosy harbour area with an impressive international marina that attracts both locals and tourists from all over the world. The marina is the vibrant heart of the town, where you can enjoy a relaxing day watching boats and savouring the fresh sea air. Beaches far from the hustle and bustle of city life await you in Le Lavandou, where you'll find fine, wide sandy beaches for sunbathing and swimming. Enjoy the azure waters and warm rays of sunshine while relaxing on the beach or participating in various water sports. What's more, there are countless smaller beaches hidden in small rocky coves, making it easy to find your own quiet corner of paradise. Le Lavandou oozes atmosphere, with lively markets, cafés and restaurants where you can savour local delicacies that highlight the best of Provençal cuisine. Whether you choose to savour fresh seafood, local wines or a delicious ratatouille, you'll be treated to a culinary experience that will make your stay even more memorable.
