La Londe-les-Maures

La Londe-les-Maures is a coastal town in the Var department, lying between Hyères and Bormes-les-Mimosas, at the heart of a well-regarded Côtes de Provence wine-growing area. The town stretches between vineyard-covered hills and the Mediterranean shoreline, with several beaches such as l'Argentière and Miramar, along with a marina offering boat connections to the island of Porquerolles, one of the most visited of the Îles d'Or. The crossing allows visitors to discover sheltered coves and the protected waters of the Port-Cros national park. Nearby, the town of Hyères regularly hosts popular events, including a funfair, while its harbour comes alive on summer evenings, perfect for an ice cream overlooking the boats. La Londe-les-Maures retains an authentic character, combining watersports, coastal footpath walks and visits to wine estates open for tastings. The mild Mediterranean climate, pleasant for much of the year, suits both seaside stays and day trips to the surrounding islands, making this a convenient base for exploring the Giens peninsula and the Gulf of Hyères.
