Detailed programme
The tour begins at dusk, in the heart of the town. As the group winds its way through the narrow streets and up the stairways of the old town, it follows the thread of history all the way to the castle.
During the climb, there are breaks to look up at the sky and discover and identify the constellations, just as the sailors of Hyères once did.
The walk then continues with a leisurely descent back towards the town, offering a fresh perspective on the urban heritage, amidst works of art, night-time lighting and a peaceful atmosphere.
