LA CROIX-VALMER'S reputation as one of the South of France's wealthiest resorts goes back to the 1950's. A select clientele, a long sandy beach where you can dream, swim or sail your days away... Feeling tempted ? Let's go then !

La Croix-Valmer is a small Provençal village set in a gently-sloping, sheltered valley, overlooking the Mediterranean. The village's fantastic, multicoloured seascapes are renowned the world over. You will love strolling among the local vineyards, exploring the rocky coastal footpath or just doing nothing on the beach.
And in the evening, why not sit back and enjoy a concert at the "French Reeds Riviera" or "Nocturnes Croisiennes" music festivals – in short, the village has everything to offer for all ages and tastes.

The history of La Croix-Valmer is extremely ancient: the prehistoric Taillat dolmen, Roman ruins scattered over Pardigon plain and Lardier Napoleonic defence posts stand witness to the site's turbulent past way before today's village was founded.

Do you enjoy walking? Well, you're in luck - La Croix-Valmer and the surrounding areas - from Gigaro beach to Cape Lardier and Cape Taillat, or Escalet beach near Ramatuelle for our more athletic visitors - are best explored on foot.

This rocky and tree-filled headland, set at an altitude of 197 m adjacent to "Col de Collebasse" pass, is a wonderful invitation to discover Provence's rich plant life. To make the best of your walk, its sharp relief is best tackled with a good pair of shoes! The plateau is densely forested with Aleppo and umbrella pines.
