New Year's Eve on the Giens Peninsula and Port Cros


Trip description

A New Year’s Eve in Provence, to discover the peninsula of Giens and Port Cros.


An "exotic" New Year’s Eve, from Hyères, with its palm trees and lush gardens that will take you to the peninsula of Giens and the island of Port Cros, located in the Mediterranean and recalling the sun and the Provençal heat. Here is an endearing discovery for a "New Year’s Eve" of the French Riviera and its most beautiful attire. The wonderfully preserved coastal paths of the Giens peninsula reveal breathtaking landscapes with forests overlooking high cliffs, pine and scrubland or secluded coves. The island of Port Cros, National Park, the smallest of the Golden Islands, is a real gem of nature and adds a total change of scenery to this weekend... A New Year’s Eve under the winter sun to celebrate a new year in the sea spray!
