Overview
Owned by a former sailing champion, this unique French Riviera house overlooks the glistening Mediterranean from its decked terraces and garden. You can walk down to an fish restaurant by the sea and join the beautiful Sentier du Littoral hiking path towards Toulon.
Les Pechers would suit intrepid travellers seeking a certain charm in wonderful surroundings. The maison feels like a very natural setting with its verdant garden, stone walls, towering trees and glimpses of the azure-coloured bay below. The wooden terraces have been perfectly designed for al-fresco lunches prepared at the characterful outdoor kitchen and evening apéritifs at sundown. The garden jacuzzi adds a touch of outdoor luxury to this welcoming home.
Inside over three floors, the natural ambience continues across the two attractive en suite double bedrooms with sea views, a cosy lounge and a particularly spacious dining area with a bar overlooking the kitchen and sliding windows leading to the decked terrace with that gorgeous view.
Following the steps outside, you will discover two further bedrooms next to each other in wooden annexes – a double with its own shower room and a single, both with large doors opening out to a raised patio beneath the pines.
It’s a lovely setting close to Toulon – walk down the hilly road passing other impressive residences and within 1km you will reach a highly regarded restaurant by the sea, rocky bays and Le Sentier du Littoral coastal hiking trail.
Toulon’s atmospheric Mourillon neighbourhood is only 2km by car (or the most adventurous can follow the rocky hiking path by the coast) where you will find a charming market, shops, restaurants and a blue-flag sandy beach with watersports and other summer activities. In the other direction, the fishing port of Carqueiranne is just over a 10-minute drive away or continue on to La Tour Fondue on the Giens peninsula to catch the ferry to the idyllic Île de Porquerolles.
Of course, the maritime city of Toulon is another fine day out with its historic harbour, old quarter, markets and cable car to Mont Faron. Then there’s other seaside towns from Sanary-sur-Mer all the way to Cassis and the Calanques National Park – wine-lovers should take this opportunity to sample some of the excellent AOC wines of Bandol and Cassis!

Location
About the surrounding area of Les PechersWith glorious sea views, Les Pechers is located in an attractive area just outside Toulon within walking distance to the rocky shores, a seaside restaurant and coastal hiking path below. Fly into Toulon Hyères Airport (17km) or take the 4-hour TGV train service from Paris Gare de Lyon to Toulon (5km).
Walking down the hilly road, the sea views are incredible. As you reach the coast you will soon come across a restaurant (check seasonal opening) serving catch of the day overlooking the Mediterranean in a tiny little former fishing village and near a pretty beach for snorkelling. From here the coastal hiking path, Le Sentier du Littoral, leads all the way towards Toulon (via Mourillon).
Toulon’s former fishing neighbourhood, Mourillon, is less than 2km by car (or via the hiking path), home to a wonderful blue-flag beach with seasonal watersports and summer family activities. Mourillon also has restaurants, cafes, shops and hosts a lovely market every morning (except Mondays) selling fruit, vegetables, cheese, fish and other regional delights.
The daily morning market in Toulon (4.5km) takes place on Courts Lafayette and food-lovers should also visit the gourmet food hall, Les Halles, in an elegant art-deco building. Take time to explore the maritime city of Toulon with its charming old town, 19th century quarter and grand harbour best explored by boat. A cable car from Toulon takes you up to Mont Faron for amazing views of the coastline.
Further east, admire the dramatic coast near Carqueiranne (10km), experience windsurfing on the Giens peninsula at Plage de l'Almanarre (20km) and take the ferry from La Tour Fondue (or Toulon) across to Île de Porquerolles, an idyllic island where you can hire bikes and cycle to Caribbean-style beaches.
Elsewhere, lovely French Riviera seaside towns nearby include Sanary-sur-Mer (16km) and Bandol (25km) as well as the beautiful peninsula of Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer (21km). Try wines from the Bandol vineyards or venture a little further afield to soak up the charm of Cassis (50km), a picture-perfect former fishing village also known for its wine production and the gateway to the Calanques National Park.

Region
The Provençal way of life is one that’s deeply tempting for anyone who’s been feeling the need to get away from it all. This is a place where the Mediterranean weather turns fields of corn and lavender into picture-perfect backdrops, where you can sip your locally bought wine and enjoy the landscapes before heading out and tackling them head-on with a range of great activities for families, groups of friends and adventurous foodies. Better yet, our range of villas in Provence and chateaux and holiday homes in the Côte d’Azur make the perfect base to explore this enchanting region!
Kids
Best Suited For: TeensThis part of the French Riviera near Toulon is fantastic for families with a great variety of activities for all ages.
First of all, you are within easy reach of the Mourillon neighbourhood of Toulon, around 2km away by car (families with older children and good shoes may wish to attempt the coastal hiking path). As well as restaurants and shops, Mourillon is home to a blue-flag sandy man-made beach with lovely water for swimming and paddling. The beach is backed by a small playground and summer amusements whilst there are watersports (sea-kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding) as well as basketball and mini-golf nearby.
When visiting Toulon, visit the city’s museums such as Musée National de la Marine on the harbourfront, tour the city via the tourist road train, take a boat trip around the bay and enjoy a cable car ride to Mont Faron for amazing views.
A little further afield, there are yet more glorious beaches and watersport opportunities around Six-Fours-Les-Plages, Sanary-sur-Mer, Bandol and in the other direction on the Giens Peninsula.
Meanwhile, La Foret des 4 Monde activity centre can be found in the Janas Forest, another popular area for hiking and mountain biking, or make the most of the family-friendly activities near the Grand Prix venue, Circuit Paul Ricard (40km), where you will find a tree-top activity centre, go-karting and X-trem Park with all sorts of things to do.
