There are places everyone knows… and then there are the ones you whisper to friends, the ones you want to keep to yourself. At the agency, we love sharing these secret spots with our travellers, because they turn a simple stay into precious memories.

In Bormes-les-Mimosas, it’s enough to get up a little earlier, climb up to the Notre-Dame de Constance chapel while the village still sleeps, and let the sun rise over the sea just for you. 

Lower down, around a lane like Rompi Cuou (which means “Casse-Cul” in Provençal — you’ve been warned!), you’ll stumble upon a flowered arch, an old blue shutter, a cat lounging on a step. Click — the perfect shot. 

And then, at the end of the day, there’s Cabasson. When everyone folds up their parasols and the beach huts glow orange in the golden light, the place becomes almost unreal.

In Le Lavandou, we love sending you to Jean Blanc cove. It’s a bit of a treasure hunt: find the hidden staircase, walk down between the rocks, and emerge onto this cove where the water plays with the sun. 

And if you like walking, the coastal path has surprises in store: a bend, a twisted pine, a vast view, and the feeling of having the world to yourself.

In Rayol-Canadel, the charm works from above on the Canadel steps, or in the heart of the Domaine du Rayol, when the last visitors have left and the gardens wrap themselves in golden light.

And then there are those little detours we like to whisper to curious travellers. 

Go greet the flamingos at the Salins des Pesquiers in Hyères, lose yourself on a stony path on the Giens peninsula leading to a deserted cove, take the boat and cycle to Notre-Dame beach on Porquerolles breathing in the scent of eucalyptus. 

Climb up to the old castle of Grimaud at sunset, wander through the discreet lanes of Ramatuelle or pause between two vineyards in La Londe-les-Maures to realise that here, every turn has its story.

With us, we don’t keep these places to ourselves. We’re happy to share them with those who come to put down their bags in our rentals, so your holiday has that little something extra — the thrill of unexpected discoveries you never forget.
