Trip Description

A New Year's Eve in Provence, discovering the Giens peninsula and Port Cros An "exotic" New Year's Eve, departing from Hyères, with its palm trees and lush gardens, will take you to the Giens peninsula and the island of Port Cros, located in the Mediterranean and evoking the sun and warmth of Provence. Here is a charming discovery for the end of the year and a New Year's Eve on the Côte d'Azur, with its finest features. The coastal paths of the Giens peninsula, wonderfully preserved, reveal breathtakingly beautiful landscapes, with forests overlooking high cliffs, pines and scrubland, and secluded coves. The island of Port Cros, a National Park and the smallest of the Golden Islands, is a true little gem of nature and adds a complete change of scenery to this weekend... A New Year's Eve under the winter sun to celebrate a new year with sea spray!
