Ledge of the Moors

Midway between cap Bénat and the presqu’île de Saint-Tropez, the corniche des Maures, lies at the foot of the sheer slopes of the eponymous massif, and extends along a coastline punctuated by small bays and headlands. Facing the Hyères Islands, this attractive corner of Provence covered with a dense and fragrant vegetation is one of the last patches of greenery in a siliceous landscape. Surrounded by the heady aromas of the garrigue and the Mediterranean vegetation, you may have the possibility of discovering the marvellous site of the domaine du Rayol, boasting one of the most beautiful panoramas over the Var coastline. This extraordinary garden, owned by the coastal protection agency, includes the quintessential plant species of the Mediterranean shores, under the direction of renowned landscape gardener Gilles Clément.
