Station balnéaire Simone-Berriau Plage (ensemble résidentiel)

In 1934, Simone Berriau discovered Hyères and hosted notable guests at her vineyard estate, Mauvanne. Following damage from German occupation in 1944, she envisioned a modern hospitality project aimed at creating an upscale holiday destination, focusing on comfort, relaxation, and leisure. By 1957, she acquired several abandoned plots at the Salins d’Hyères, including land previously owned by the French Navy, situated from the shoreline to the seaside boulevard, to realize her vision of a premier resort area.
