La Londe-les-Maures (Var, France)
La Londe-les-Maures is a seaside commune situated between the Mediterranean and the Maures massif. A family resort, it offers a coastline of sandy beaches, pines that descend to the sea, and terraced vineyards. Its position opposite the Îles d'Hyères makes it an ideal starting point for sea excursions. The atmosphere mixes relaxation, nature, and local wine production.
Heritage and history
The village preserves a discreet old core, with some Provençal houses and chapels dotting the lanes. Local history is marked by agriculture and fishing, followed by tourist development in the 20th century. The rural imprint remains visible around olive groves and wine estates. Walks allow glimpses of this agricultural and maritime past.
Nature and landscapes
The coastline features coves and sandy beaches bordered by umbrella pines. Inland, the Massif des Maures forms a setting of wooded hills, suitable for hiking and mountain biking. Provençal light and Mediterranean vegetation (rockroses, cork oaks, heather) characterize the panoramas. Sunsets over the sea are particularly photogenic.
Food and wines
La Londe lies within the Côtes de Provence appellation, with small producers offering typical rosés, whites and reds of the region. Local cuisine emphasizes seafood, olive oil and aromatic herbs. Markets sell seasonal fish, fruits and vegetables that shape daily life.
