There is a strong link between its inhabitants, its topography and this highly varied vegetation. As far back as Antiquity, the Ligures set up their oppidum on the hills to protect themselves. Since then, the area's inhabitants have continued to live together in this way. The natural environment is conducive to a number of crops (cereals, tobacco, potatoes, hemp, flax, vines and olives) and gentle farming methods (bees, silkworms). Collobrières Nestling like a pearl in the heart of the crystalline Massif des Maures, the commune of Collobrières benefits from a mild Mediterranean climate, marked in particular by the presence of scrubland, cork oaks, hundred-year-old chestnut trees, arbutus and cades.

The Norman origin of the name La Londe, "lund", means clearing, cleared forest. In order to exploit its resources and cultivate this land suitable for farming, man had to develop it. The first representatives of the commune, which was created in 1901, felt that "les Maures", which gained in value during the 19th century, deserved to add to its toponym. The latter is emblematic of the importance of the forest, which covers 75% of the territory, with wooded areas stretching right down to the seaside. > Bormes les Mimosas When you think of its name, you realise how important trees have always been to the village and its inhabitants. Bormes, classified as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in France", is associated with an emblematic tree, the Mimosa, but its plant palette also includes remarkable trees and exotic species.

The crossroads of '' Gratteloup '' was the scene of a fight between the German troops of the 917th grenadier regiment of Colonel LANGE, and the 1st and 2nd battalion of the 7th infantry regiment, 3rd Division Us. The small blockhouse of the crossroads supported a machine gun who controlled the current D98, coming from Cogolin by La Mole. The American troops, landed on August 15 on Red Beach in Cavalaire, separate to follow one, the coastal road and the other, the forest of Dom. The 1st and 2nd battalions overtake the Mole at the dusk of August 16th. Then on the heights of the pass where the Germans are ambushed in a network of trenches, they are shot. The tanks of the 756th Battalion fought back and the "B" company, assisted by the local Resistance, took the enemy position by the North. The commandos of Africa on the ridges and in the South, the Americans on their heels, the enemy retired at the end of the night. The company "F", sent to Bormes, discovered in the morning of August 17 a desert village and Lavandourains hostages left by their guardians.

From this position which dominates the village of Bormes and the plain, one can watch for kilometers any terrestrial or maritime movement. The defenses are organized around the Chapel of ND of Constance. In 1943, this point was occupied by four Italian howitzers of the 48th Division "Fanteria" "Taro" of General Gino PEDRAZZOLI, then by artillerymen attached to the 917th grenadier regiment.

It gives pride to the southern plants: mimosa, acacia, banksia, eucalyptus, grevillea, hakea, melaleuca, eremophilia ... The Gonzalez Park was labeled "Remarkable Garden" in 2015: this distinction marks the recognition of the work done for several decades by the city of mimosa. This unique park in Europe, a real gem in the heart of the village, is composed of more than 500 species of Australian plants. It was born thanks to the generosity of Vivianne Grimminger and Carmen Martinez who offered this plot of 3000 m2 to seal their story and that of the Gonzalez family in the city, so dear to Roberta Gonzalez, daughter of the sculptor Julio Gonzalez. A generous gesture that made it possible, in 2002, to the Gonzalez Park, to be realized thanks to Gilles Augias, in charge of the Service Espaces Vert and Gérard Cavatore, the mimosa specialist.

This system made it possible to follow and guide several "friendly" hunting formations (several Y Lines) towards their objectives. On August 16, 1944, VALLIER and his men, accompanied by the villagers, attack the radar but the enemy was already gone. This resort seems to have never been in service.

Built in 1855 and damaged during world war two, the Saint Louis Church has been transformed throughout the years.

This stele was erected in 1970 by the association of the French Remembrance on the site of the first divisional cemetery created after the liberation of La Londe les Maures. On August 17th, 1944, the first American soldiers arrived by this road. They will be followed by the African commandos. An American destroyer tank was stopped by the German artillery in front of the castle of the Tour Saint Honoré. From the top of the destroyed turret, Sergeant Stanley BENDER fixed enemy shootings and attacked the bridge before liberating the village. This bridge now bears his name. The Marquis de LORDAT, who owned the land, acceded to the request of General Diégo BROSSET, who commanded the 1st DFL (1st Free French Division). He demanded to bury the 117 bodies out of the 298 officers, sub-officers and soldiers of his unit who had perished between La Londe and Le Pradet. The graves were maintained by the children of the Jean Jaurès school for many years after the end of the war. General de LATTRE de TASSIGNY, commander of the 1st French Army, Rhine and Danube, comes to pay tribute to the disappeared after the Liberation of Toulon. General O'DANIEL, commander of the 3rd American Infantry Division (3rd DI.U.S.), stopped there before visiting the huge field hospital installed on the VALROSE site. General de GAULLE came to pray there after the end of the War. He is welcomed by the mayor Mr. François de LEUSSE. This officer of the Foreign Legion integrated into the commandos of Africa under the name of Captain de Montgraham, landed on the beach of Le Canadel and liberated Cap Bénat and Fort de Brégançon. In November 1944, during the liberation of Belfort, at the head of the 3rd African Commando, he was one of the few survivors of this decimated unit at the Bois d'Arsot in Offemont where a crossroads bears his name. Most of the bodies of the soldiers of the 1st DFL were returned to their families after the opening of the national necropolis of BOULOURIS near Saint Raphael, inaugurated on August 15th, 1964 by General De Gaulle.
