Hyères is a French commune located in the Var department,
in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.

Capital of two cantons, the city is located on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea 16 km to
east of Toulon, at the mouth of the Gapeau. This seaside resort is called "Hyères
"Palm Trees" by the municipality and the tourist office because of the 7,000 palm trees planted in the town and grown in nurseries.

Under the leadership of its mayor Alphonse Denis, Hyères became, from the year 1830, a
tourist destination and a winter health resort, renowned for its thermal cures and frequented in particular by the English community which leaves an architectural imprint still perceptible in the current urban landscape.

The city is also the cradle of the first attempts to acclimatize exotic plants on the Côte d'Azur from 1850, thanks to horticulturists who exported palm trees and cacti produced in their nurseries and supplied the owners.

Today, besides palm cultivation, Hyères occupies a predominant position in
matters of floriculture and viticulture.

Hyères is a booming summer resort thanks to its marina, beaches and proximity to tourist attractions such as the Golden Islands, partially protected by a national park, Les Salins and the archaeological site of Olbia.
