Private Tour of Hyères, Le Lavandou and Saint-Tropez

A curated journey through medieval villages, seaside promenades, and the iconic Riviera glamour of the French Mediterranean coast.


This private tour of Hyères, Le Lavandou, and Saint-Tropez takes you along one of the most scenic stretches of the Provençal coastline, blending historic architecture, tranquil beaches, and the legendary atmosphere of the French Riviera. Tailored exclusively for your group, this experience offers flexibility and personal attention that group tours simply cannot match.

Departing from Toulon or Marseille, you will travel southward through landscapes shaped by centuries of Mediterranean culture. Each stop along the route reveals a distinct character, from the cobbled lanes of Hyères to the yacht-lined harbor of Saint-Tropez.

The itinerary is designed to balance exploration with leisure. Whether you prefer wandering through open-air markets, sitting at a waterfront café, or climbing to a hilltop citadel for panoramic views, this tour adapts to your pace and interests.

Tour Highlights

Discover the medieval Old Town of Hyères, with its narrow cobbled streets, Romanesque churches, and well-preserved ramparts dating back centuries.

Stroll along the palm-lined promenade of Le Lavandou and enjoy the calm, clear waters of one of the Var coast's most relaxed seaside towns.

Explore the iconic Vieux Port of Saint-Tropez, framed by pastel-colored houses and some of the most impressive private yachts in the Mediterranean.

Climb to the Citadel of Saint-Tropez for sweeping panoramic views over the bay, the coastline, and the rooftops of the old village below.

Visit Villa Noailles in Hyères or the Annonciade Museum in Saint-Tropez for a refined encounter with modern and contemporary art in exceptional settings.

Enjoy free time in Saint-Tropez to browse chic boutiques, pick up local produce, or settle in at the legendary Café Sénéquier on the port.

Wander through Parc Olbius Riquier in Hyères, a lush botanical garden offering a peaceful retreat within the heart of the city.
