Les Issambres

Les Issambres, a seaside resort in the Var department nestled between Sainte-Maxime and Fréjus, is known for its jagged coastline of turquoise coves, accessible via the coastal footpath that runs along the shore for several kilometres. This walking trail winds through unspoilt natural surroundings, dotted with umbrella pines forming a wooded area ideal for strolling. The Roquebrune rock, a distinctive geological formation in the area, serves as a striking landmark visible from much of the coastline. The main beach draws visitors with its relaxed atmosphere, while water sports such as sailing, diving and kayaking take advantage of the calm waters typical of this stretch of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. For a bite to eat, the Brasserie des Issambres offers sweeping views over the bay, and the Vanilla Café serves popular homemade ice cream by the sea. Thanks to its central location, Les Issambres makes an ideal base for exploring Saint-Tropez, Port Grimaud, the Porquerolles islands, or the Gorges de Pennafort, giving easy access to the varied landscapes of the Var, from coast to hinterland.
