Hyères, also known as Hyères-les-Palmiers, is a seaside resort in the Var region, located about 20 kilometers east of Toulon. This town marks the beginning of the famous French Riviera, renowned for its exceptionally mild climate and generous sunshine throughout the year.
Hyères is home to the stunning Giens Peninsula, a remarkable site bordered by sandy beaches and pebbles stretching nearly five kilometers. The peninsula, connected to the mainland by two sandy spits called "tombolos," is unique in Europe. It offers an ideal setting for swimming, water sports, and nature walks.
Off the coast of Hyères, the Hyères Islands comprise three Mediterranean gems:
