One of our favourite hang-outs is Bonporteau Beach, just a 10-minute walk west of the town centre.
It is reached via this little woodland path.
At the bottom there are trees, shrubs, all sorts of greenery.
And a fresh-water pond.
And then you arrive at the beach.
It is enclosed by rocky cliffs, great fun to explore.
And there are views to the Îles d’Hyères, the group of islands which lie off the town of Hyères, further to the west.
Paradise, anyone?
