Travel guide

Understand

thumb|The old centre of Bormes-les-Mimosas The town is protected under French preservation laws to retain most of its mediaeval charm. Bormes is known for its omnipresent flowers, the castle ruin and the church residing on top of the mountain on which the city also resides.

It is virtually merged with its neighbour, the town of Le Lavandou.

Nearby are many great (albeit densely populated during August) beaches, the Îles d'Hyères (aka Îles d'Or) islands and the famous Port-Cros national park. Port Cros is said to be one of the great places to dive in the Mediterranean.

Get in

The nearest airports are in Nice, Toulon and Marseilles.

There is no railroad near the town, but you can catch a connecting bus from Toulon (#7801, #8814) or even Saint-Raphaël (change at St. Tropez or Cogolin).

NB: The intercity buses are prone to be quite late, esp. in season, so make sure you've got plenty of time for making connecting changes.
