What to do and see In and around Le Lavandou, Bormes les Mimosas
LE LAVANDOU
Le Lavandou ("the village of washerwomen") nowadays is a picturesque seaside resort set against the dramatic backdrop of the Massif des Maures.
Le Lavandou ("the village of washerwomen") nowadays is a picturesque seaside resort set against the dramatic backdrop of the Massif des Maures.
With its 12 kilometres of coastline, a fascinating mixture of sea creeks and long beaches linked (during the season) by a tourist "train" running up and down the coast road, Le Lavandou looks out to the "Iles d’Or" (the islands of Port-Cros, Le Levant, Porquerolles). A 20-minute boat trip will take you to the nearest island. Its crystalline waters teem with marine life and act as a magnet for divers from all over Europe. The island of Le Levant is the site of a marine reserve unique of its kind in Europe.
Other destinations well worth exploring include Bormes-les-Mimosas (France's best-kept village, 5 km from Le Lavandou), Cogolin on the Gulf of St Tropez, St Tropez itself, Hyères and the Giens Peninsula (not to be missed by nature lovers).
