Vines & Blooms

The town is home to Fort BrÃ©ganÃ§on, a state residence used as an official vacation spot (mainly in the summer) of the President of the French Republic.
The town of Bormes-les-Mimosas is located on the Mediterranean coast, at the extreme south of the Massif des Maures. It extends from the crests of the main massif to the end of Cap BÃ©nat which juts out into the sea opposite the HyÃ¨res islands, passing through the small depression of the Batailler stream, which provides communication between the plain of 'HyÃ¨res and the âCorniche des Mauresâ (Le Lavandou, Cavalaire).
The village of Bormes clings to the hillside, facing south, under the ruins of its old castle.
At the end of the Second World War, the Provence landings took place between Saint-RaphaÃ«l and Ramatuelle on the night of August 14 to 15, 1944. The landing forces headed for Toulon, and liberated Bormes-les-Mimosas on August 17 August 194433. The Battle of Toulon took place from August 20 to 26, 1944.

VIEW CRUISE

Take a scenic drive through the Massif des Maures to reach the medieval gem, Bormes-les-Mimosas, which is perched on a mountainside overlooking the Mediterranean. Stroll through narrow streets lined with colourful, ochre-hued houses and quaint squares, where each turn is a new discovery waiting to be made. With its blooming mimosa in winter and vibrant bougainvillea in summer, the village is a visual treat all year round. After some free time to explore, head to Domaine de l'Anglade in Le Lavandou, where you’ll tour the vineyard and sample local wines in a stunning coastal setting.
