Roussas.

Wine TastingHiking

La Londe-les-Maures sits on the Mediterranean coast between Hyères and Bormes-les-Mimosas, where sandy beaches meet pine forests and coastal vineyards. The town produces Côtes de Provence wines from estates overlooking the sea, with many offering tastings and cellar visits. Beyond wine, the area provides access to quiet beaches, coastal hiking trails through protected natural areas, and the nearby Îles d'Hyères. Local markets sell regional products while waterfront restaurants serve fresh seafood and Provençal cuisine. This less-developed stretch of the Riviera offers authentic coastal life away from crowded resorts.
