La Londe-les-Maures vacation rentals

You must have a laid-back vacation—it's the law of La Londe

Less flashy than St. Tropez, but no less lovely, this little town has a laid-back vibe to match its delicious Mediterranean climate. La Londe-les-Maures vacation rentals are the perfect opportunity to slow things down, and concentrate on beach life and decadent dining. Even the music is just right, with an annual jazz festival keeping things cool. La Londe-les-Maures is well-placed for low-key adventures on land or at sea, and a highlight of your vacation is almost certainly going to be a cruise to the Iles d'Hyeres, a cute little group of islands just off the coast.

France's own little corner of the tropics

If you just can't stand to be chilly, you've come to the right place, as the tropical animals living contentedly in the Jardin Zoologique Tropical happily demonstrate. This exotic garden houses a varied range of more than 250 animals from 60-odd species, and that's before you get onto all the tropical plants and flowers. La Londe-les-Maures vacation rentals also put you within striking distance of some of the most fertile land in France, and you know what that means? Yep, find yourself a driver and head out for a "degustation" (a wine tasting) at one of the many vineyards dotting the countryside.

Life's a beach, except in La Londe, where it's 5 beaches

La-Londe-les-Maures vacation rentals are all about living it up, Cote d'Azur style. And mainly, that means beaches. La-Londe-les-Maures has 5 of them, with more than 3 km of sun-soaked sand. Tamaris and Miramar are the most central, while Pellegrin has a reputation as one of the loveliest. As with all these south coast dream spots, sailing is also a big draw, and is centered around the marinas of Miramar and Maravenne. La-Londe-les-Maures makes an ideal spot for excursions, whether you're heading across the water to the Iles d'Hyeres or up the coast to St. Tropez, while July brings the town's annual jazz festival.

You won't need a coat for this Cote, that's for Azur

The Cote D'Azur has the sort of climate that makes other beach resorts turn green with envy. Summers 'round here are hot and dry, and even the winters are so mild that you're not going to be reaching for your hat and scarf. The only thing you might want to look out for, especially in winter, is the wind. In particular, there's a wind called the Mistral that comes down from the Alps, and it can sometimes blow strong and cool. On the other hand, if you're a sailor or a windsurfer, that might be just what you're looking for.

Islands for naturalists and naturists alike

La-Londe-les-Maures is set on one of the most glorious stretches of France's Mediterranean coast, famous for its sandy beaches, its expensive yachts, and its super-posh clientele. Whether you're taking to the waves on your own yacht or on a cruise boat, a sea excursion is a must. One of the big draws of La-Londe-les-Maures vacation rentals is the proximity of the Iles d'Hyeres, an archipelago of 4 islands. Porquerolles is the biggest and most popular, though naturalists will be drawn to the wildflowers and birdlife on Port-Cros, and naturists will be similarly delighted with the "clothing-optional" attractions on Ile du Levant.
