Bormes-les-Mimosas and the Brégançon coast

Why go

Its appeal is a different scale from the larger coastal towns: a flower-associated village and a stretch of coast with a nationally significant fort. The fort’s official role is part of the place’s story, though any visit there depends on current access arrangements.

What to look for

• The town’s name reflects its association with mimosa flowers.
• The Fort de Brégançon stands on the commune’s coast.

Useful to know

• Check the fort’s current official visitor arrangements before planning around it.
