Build an itinerary based on what interests you

Hyères sits 20 kilometres east of Toulon, reached in fifteen minutes by regional TER train or an hour from Marseille. It is France’s palm capital, known for modernist architecture at Villa Noailles and salt flats stretching along the Giens peninsula. Hyères is worth visiting if you want quiet medieval hill climbs, honest Provençal markets, and ferry access to car-free island trails. Look elsewhere if you expect late-night clubbing or a single continuous strip linking town directly to the sand.

What to do in Hyères Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur France

Hyères splits into distinct chapters: the medieval upper village climbing the hill, the 19th-century winter resort of broad boulevards, and the coastal tombolo of Giens reaching into the Mediterranean. Days settle into morning market runs, afternoon walks through pine-shaded villas, and casual dinners over grilled red mullet. It suits travellers who appreciate unvarnished Provençal life paired with easy access to wild coastal paths.
