Hyeres: l'Almanarre
Hyères is best known in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur for the Hyères Islands, a Mediterranean archipelago that includes Porquerolles, Port-Cros and Île du Levant. The town extends from a medieval mainland centre to the Giens Peninsula, salt marshes and an indented coastline facing the islands. Created in 1963, Port-Cros National Park protects Port-Cros and surrounding marine waters; nearby Porquerolles is known for beaches, vineyards and pine woodland. Hyères also developed as a winter resort. The modernist Villa Noailles, built for Charles and Marie-Laure de Noailles in the 1920s, now hosts major fashion and photography events. This French Riviera town is shaped as much by its island waters as by its Provençal streets.

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.

Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur occupies France’s southeastern Mediterranean coast and Alpine borderlands. Its terrain runs from the Rhône delta and the Camargue wetlands to the limestone coves of the Calanques and the high valleys of the French Alps, while the Côte d’Azur forms its celebrated shoreline. Marseille, France’s oldest city, is a major port, and Avignon’s Palais des Papes recalls the 14th-century papal court. Inland, Provençal markets, olive cultivation and lavender-growing areas remain central to regional identity.

The Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines, together with the Alps, Pyrenees and broad river basins, define much of France — they support maritime trade, farming, wine regions and travel throughout the year. The Seine runs through Paris, where the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre are among Europe’s most recognised landmarks. The Loire Valley is known for Renaissance châteaux, while Mont-Saint-Michel rises from a tidal bay in Normandy. Regional food traditions are equally distinctive, from Breton seafood to Provençal cooking, with bread, cheese and wine central to everyday life. France’s global cultural influence is evident in its language, literature, fashion and cinema.
