Playing Petanque in Le Levandou. © 2012 Ralph Grizzle
We played Petanque in Le Levandou, a fun game similar to bocce. We dined outdoors next to a nude beach at Le Layet Beach (welcome to France!) We tasted the ubiquitous and oh-so-delicious rosé wine at Domaines Bertaud-Belieu. And then we sauntered into Saint-Tropez, where we dined like movie stars.
We experienced all of this and more on a trip exploring 10 cruise destinations in the Var, in the Provence region of southern France. Be sure to check out these stories: Oh Hyeres!
