Le Plan de la Tour
Charming Bed and breakfast and Cottages
In Le Plan-de-la-Tour, a former sheepfold houses four individually decorated rooms, alongside holiday rentals for two to seven guests and a traditional caravan for two. Private terraces, Mediterranean trees and sociable living spaces give the house a relaxed atmosphere, away from the bustle of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
Places to explore Saint Tropez · Côte d'Azur · Massif des Maures · Sainte Maxime
In the Var, the Massif des Maures rises behind the coast between the Hyères area and the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Wooded hills, winding roads and villages contrast with seaside resorts. Choose your accommodation according to your outings: crossing the massif takes time.
Cork oaks, chestnut trees and pines form different landscapes according to the slopes. Around Collobrières, roads explore valleys and chestnut-growing areas. Plan woodland walks according to terrain, heat and access conditions, particularly during periods of fire risk.
Collobrières and La Garde-Freinet introduce the interior. Nearer the gulf, Grimaud and Plan-de-la-Tour combine villages with routes to the coast. Bormes-les-Mimosas links a perched old centre with beaches below. Distances between communes alone do not indicate journey times on minor roads.
La Londe-les-Maures, Le Lavandou, Cavalaire-sur-Mer and La Croix-Valmer provide several approaches to the sea. To the east, Saint-Tropez harbour and Sainte-Maxime complete visits around the gulf. To the west, the Giens peninsula makes a separate outing. A stay is easier to organise around one area than with daily crossings between distant beaches and villages.
In Collobrières, chestnuts also feature in local products and autumn events. Check the village calendar for markets and activities during your stay.
Spring is ideal for villages, trails and flowers. Autumn brings softer light, milder temperatures and fewer visitors. Summer suits beach stays and the coast, with busier days around Le Lavandou, Bormes-les-Mimosas and the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
The coast around Le Lavandou, Bormes-les-Mimosas, Cavalaire and La Croix-Valmer is well suited to seaside stays. Collobrières, La Garde-Freinet and Plan-de-la-Tour offer a more inland and forested atmosphere.
Access to woodland areas may be restricted or prohibited according to fire risk. Check official departmental information before setting out. Choose a route suited to the heat and your ability: a short distance on the map does not necessarily mean an easy walk.
