FRANCE’S COTE D’ AZUR WALK
Remarkable beauty, clear blue waters and a wonderful climate have earned the French Riviera, or “azure coast,” an unrivaled position among the world’s fashionable holiday playgrounds. It was here the Romans built spas and villas designed to catch the sea breezes. But the Cote d’Azur really came into prominence in the 19th century when English aristocrats arrived. It was on the Cote d’Azur that Coco Chanel invented sunbathing.
The most venerable and southerly of the Cote d’Azur resorts is also one of the most dignified and traditional. This is Hyeres. Hyeres is your arrival point and your first day will be spent exploring the historical center of this lovely city. Hyeres was a favorite resort for Queen Victoria and many writers and intellectuals of the 19th century. From Hyeres, you will transfer to the Giens peninsula and then onto the Golden Islands.
Much of your adventure will be seeing the Cote d’Azur that few visitors see: The Iles d’Hyeres, which are also called The Golden Islands. These three exotically beautiful islands have been preserved from the development that most of the area experienced. Cars are restricted and these former haunts of pirates are now wildlife and bird sanctuaries.
You will spend a delightful day exploring the island of Port Cros. Watered with artesian wells and springs, the island of Port Cros is rich in plant and animal life and has been a national park since 1963. Offshore from the island is a marine natural reserve where a fantastic range of sea creatures thrive in the protected waters. There is even an underwater trail so that divers can explore this unusual sanctuary.
At the end of the week, you will be staying in Bormes les Mimosas, one of the prettiest villages of Provence, situated at the bottom of the Mantes hills and which offers all the charms of medieval villages of the 12th century.
Most of the walks are about five hours in length.
