Arriving in Hyères
La Tour Fondue landing
For Porquerolles, the driver drops you at the landing at the tip of the Giens peninsula: give us the boat time.
Hyères centre and beaches
Old town, Costebelle, L’Ayguade, Port-Pothuau: drop-off at your address.
From the TGV to Porquerolles
Travellers heading for the Hyères islands often arrive by TGV in Marseille. A private driver drops them at La Tour Fondue with no connection, luggage and all, in time for the boat.
On the way back, book for the boat arrival time: the driver waits in the landing car park.
Hyères, the town of palms
Hyères was one of the first winter resorts on the Riviera in the 19th century; Queen Victoria and many aristocrats stayed here. The medieval old town, around the collegiate church of Saint-Paul and the castle ruins, overlooks palm-lined avenues. The Villa Noailles, on the hill, hosts an annual fashion and photography festival.
The Giens peninsula, joined to the mainland by two sand spits, encloses the Pesquiers salt marshes, home to flamingos. L’Almanarre beach is a hotspot for kitesurfing and windsurfing.
The Golden Islands
Porquerolles, Port-Cros and Le Levant form the Îles d’Or. Porquerolles, the largest, is explored by bike; Port-Cros is a national park. Boats leave from La Tour Fondue for Porquerolles and from Hyères harbour for Port-Cros: tell us your departure point. Hyères has its own airport, Toulon-Hyères, but many travellers arrive by TGV in Marseille for lack of a direct flight.
