When the beaches are peaceful, the massif, the village and the sea open another way to stay. An address to breathe, move and discover all year round.
The stay takes on another aspect from September until spring: still fresh water, low light on the trails, more quiet markets and alleyways. Here are some ideas chosen to make you want to come when the calendar breathes.
The heat simmers and the landscapes of the massif regain their intensity. It is a very attractive season for active couples, nature lovers and stays of a few days.
Between Cabasson and the coast, the views alternate in coves, pines and views of the islands. Closed shoes and water are essential; check the conditions of access before departure.
