While away the days strolling the village and people-watching in the place des Lices, or sipping a cappuccino alongside the yacht-lined quay. Then head out to explore the peninsula’s soul-stirring coastal paths, chichi beach clubs and vine-knitted capes. When you’re ready to move out of the limelight, you’ll be enveloped by nature in the Massif des Maures, where thick chestnut groves harbour small villages and surprising vistas. The main trio of islands in the Îles d’Hyères offers a splendid, quiet coastal escape. Inland, in the Haut-Var, meander stone villages, each with its own character and history, and meet the laid-back people who maintain an unpretentious but enviable way of life. Oh, and allow plenty of time to dine well. ¨¨Le Clos des Vignes (p127) Collobrieres 72 ¨¨La Pescalune (p125) Draguignan 103 56 Hyéres 39 30 82 St-Tropez 97 30 52 50 Toulon 20 38 83 18 68 Collobrieres Draguignan Hyéres St-Tropez Driving Distances (km) Bandol ¨¨Chez Bruno (p125) Why Go? ¨¨Domaine de la Maurette (p123) ¨¨La Vague d’Or (p116) Best Places to Stay ¨¨Le Mas du Langoustier (p135) ¨¨Hôtel des Deux Rocs (p125) ¨¨Hôtel Byblos (p116) ¨¨Hôtel de la Tour (p139) ¨¨Château de Valmer (p121) 1 10 St-Tropez to Toulon Highlights 6666 66 6666 66 6666 Lac de Ste-Croix 1 Frolic with celebrities in StTropez (p112) during high season, and soak up the golden light in winter. 2 Find your way Sillansla-Cascade through the Massif des Maures to serene Monastère de la Verne (p130). # \ # \ Barjols # Cotignac \ 3 Roam the tranquil S t-Tro pe z to To u lo n t o T o u l o n H i gh l i ghts back roads of the Haut-Var (p122) and its tiny hilltop villages. # Châteauvert \ Correns # \ Carcès \ # # Le Val \ A8 · / 4 Take a dramatic cape-to-cape walk around the St-Tropez peninsula (p113).
