Here was another French resort, near Toulon, of an entirely differ- ent character from Golfe Juan. Hyeres is also a year-round city, centered about an old, walled sec:- tion. It was founded in the lOth. century as a haven against pirates and ralders, but is now famous pri- marily as a winter health center. l-lyeres is quieter than the average Riviera resort, a quality enioyed by all those who took liberty here.
