The Provençal paradise village of Bormes les Mimosa boasts stunning medieval architecture, a winding maze of narrow lanes, gardens brimming with its namesake flowers, a picturesque marina, and Fort Brégançon nestled on a rocky islet offshore. Join your guide for a walk among its historic highlights. Capture the views from the 13th-century Romanesque chapel atop the hill for fantastic photos. Stretch your legs on the uphill climb to reach this prime spot.
Then, set off on your own for some shopping and independent exploration. In the Old Town, you'll find quaint shops packed to the gills with French crafts, beautiful linens, and handy gadgets. Pause at an outdoor café (at your own expense) on a shaded square adorned by colorful blossoms before a scenic panoramic drive returns you to glittering St Tropez.
Please note: Bring local currency or credit cards, as most vendors do not accept US dollars. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable/reef-safe sunscreen. Bring bottled water. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, inclines, and steps. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
