Le Lavandou is a small town of 5,500 inhabitants nestling at the foot of the Massif des Maures, 25 miles E of the port of [[Toulon]] in [[France]] and 10 miles N of the beautiful [[Iles d'Hyeres]].  The old fishing harbour of the port has been developed over the years into a full-service marina, Port du Lavandou.  A convenient stop-off point on a cruise to the [[Iles d'Hyeres]] or along the Riviera coast, it is also an excellent base for a trip to the lovely town of Bormes les Mimosa a few miles inland.

The predominant pattern during the summer months is coastal seabreezes, however Le Lavandou can be affected whenever there is a strong mistral blowing down the Rhone Valley (although winds here are slightly less strong than in the Rhone delta).  Less frequently, it may be affected by the scirocco, a hot southerly wind that blows up from the Sahara and can last for several days, depositing its cargo of dust over everything in sight.

Port Le Lavandou has 1100 berths, of which 100 are reserved for visitors.  Having said that, it gets very busy in season, so it is wise to book ahead in July and August (telephone +33(0)4 94 00 41 10; e-mail: [email protected]).  The marina has all the services to be expected, including a toilet/shower block, slipway, 25T mobile crane and fuel berth.

Port of Le Lavandou
Click for larger view

Le Lavandou is a small town of 5,500 inhabitants nestling at the foot of the Massif des Maures, 25 miles E of the port of Toulon in France and 10 miles N of the beautiful Iles d'Hyeres. The old fishing harbour of the port has been developed over the years into a full-service marina, Port du Lavandou. A convenient stop-off point on a cruise to the Iles d'Hyeres or along the Riviera coast, it is also an excellent base for a trip to the lovely town of Bormes les Mimosa a few miles inland.
