About this tour
Walk through Hyères at your own pace with a 1 hour 40 minute audio-guided circuit covering 18 landmarks across 4 kilometres. From the collegiate church of Saint Paul to the castle ruins, the route threads through palm-lined squares, hidden lanes, and two green spaces—Parc Sainte-Claire and Parc Saint-Bernard—that reveal the city's layered past from Roman times through the medieval period. Download the audio commentary in French, English or Spanish before you go; no physical materials required.

What to expect
You'll navigate a 4 km loop at a comfortable pace, stopping when audio prompts guide you to each of the 18 locations. Each commentary fills in the historical backdrop—what stood where, who lived or ruled there—while you look at the actual stones, squares and gardens around you. The route mixes substantial sights (the castle, the church) with smaller discoveries tucked in quieter neighbourhoods. Expect a gentle walk through both built heritage and planted green space, with stretches of shade but also open sun depending on time of day.
