Hyeres

Built around a medieval hilltop fortification, Hyères grew into a Mediterranean town on the Côte d’Azur. Its commune reaches the coast and includes the Giens Peninsula and the Îles d’Hyères, with Porquerolles, Port-Cros and Île du Levant lying offshore in the Mediterranean Sea. The old centre climbs towards the ruins of the Château d’Hyères, while the 1920s Villa Noailles, designed by Robert Mallet-Stevens, is a major modernist landmark and cultural venue. Coastal salt marshes at Les Salins d’Hyères add an important wetland landscape to the area. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Hyères and the Var coast.
