The Landing of Provence

After the Armistice of June 1940, defeated, France collaborates with the Third Reich. Following the Allied landing in North Africa and the scuttling of the French fleet in the port of Toulon, in November 1942, General de GAULLE in 1943 tasked General GIRAUD, to reorganize in North Africa, a French army with American material support. The Allies imagine to fight the occupation troops by the North (Operation OVERLORD in Normandy) and the South (Operation DRAGOON in Provence). The coast of the Moors (la côte des Maures) appears then as the only place likely to escape the coastal batteries of the Toulon area. Two months after the landing of Normandy on the 6th of June of 1944, the Allies get the green light. On the night of August 14 to 15 in 1944, the African commandos, the first French soldiers on the soil of Provence, stormed Cape Negro, the naval assault group, the Esquirol point, the Canadians and American rangers the Golden Islands. American parachutists are dropped in the plain of Muy. On the morning of August 15th, American divisions land at Cavalaire; for eight days, those of the Army of Africa land in a continuous flow on the beaches of Cavalaire, Dramont, Nartelle to liberate the occupied towns and villages in Var. Go back in time and discover the town’s liberation’s highlights of Le Lavandou and Collobrières on August 15, 1944, Pierrefeu du Var and Bormes les Mimosas on the 16th, La Londe les Maures and Cuers on the 17th.

Tour 3: Once upon a time there were Trees, Plants and People

This tour offers you the opportunity to discover a heritage of remarkable trees, exotic gardens and local plants. Travel through the fascinating and discreet world of plants and discover some facets of the complex relationship between plants and man. At a time when everything is going very fast, let us remember that another temporality exists. That of slowness, of the seasons, of patience and of respect for the environment in the name of serene growth. This is the time of trees and plants. Whether they are there by natural enchantment, or thanks to the hand of man, these living beings delight the eyes and awaken the hearts as a major element of the local culture. While cherishing this resource, generations have known how to tame it, exploit it, and evolve their know-how. In the heart of France's largest forest department, the communes of the Mediterranean Porte des Maures abound in plant species such as the olive tree, fig tree, mimosa, cypress, pine or chestnut tree, and in plant species that are each more vibrant than the last. As a precious resource that is sometimes overlooked, a magical instrument for depollution and the shelter of rich ecosystems, everyone now recognises the importance of preserving them. To better appreciate and protect these species, it is necessary to recognize them. Remarkable trees, exotic gardens, local plants, know-how and traditions, and built heritage are all elements to be approached. Located at the western gateway to the Maures crystalline massif and the limestone massifs, and home to four Natural Zones of Ecological, Faunistic and Floristic Interest, Cuers has always been influenced by this plant environment. A strong link exists between its inhabitants, its relief and this very varied vegetation. Already during Antiquity, the Ligurians installed their oppidum on the hills to protect themselves. Since then, the inhabitants have continued to live together. Nature is conducive to certain crops (cereals, tobacco, potatoes, hemp, flax, vines and olives) and to gentle farming methods (bees, silkworms). Collobrières Embedded like a pearl in the heart of the Maures crystalline massif, the territory of the commune of Collobrières benefits from the mildness of the Mediterranean climate, marked in particular by the presence of maquis, cork oaks, hundred-year-old chestnut trees, arbutus trees and cades. The nearby surroundings of the village offer remarkable walking areas and already reveal the richness of a biodiversity that will delight lovers of preserved nature, protected by a village that holds 3 flowers of the "Villes et Villages Fleuris" label and that of "Village Nature 2 libellules - Territoire engagé pour la Nature". Pierrefeu-du-Var Pierrefeu du Var, due to its geographical situation, benefits from a green setting favourable to hiking and to the discovery of the flora and its waterways. Built on the first foothills of the Massif des Maures, it overlooks a vast and renowned wine-growing plain and wooded areas where the vegetation is typically Mediterranean with maquis, originally represented by the white oak and the cork oak. For many years, the link between nature and man has been an essential element in the economic development of the region, and this has been maintained to this day. > La Londe les Maures The Maures in the territory of Hyères were described as "forêts gastes" in the 17th century. 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 agriculture, man had to develop it. The first representatives of the commune, which was born in 1901, felt that "les Maures" deserved to be named after it, as it gained in value during the 19th century. It is emblematic of the importance of the forest, which covers 75% of the territory, with wooded areas right up to the seashore. > Bormes les Mimosas The name suggests the important place that trees have always held in the minds of the village and its inhabitants. Bormes is associated with an emblematic tree, the Mimosa, but its plant palette also includes remarkable trees and exotic species. In exchange for their maintenance and respect, this forest and these trees have provided a living for entire families. In Bormes les Mimosas, man has realised that a close relationship would bring him fulfilment, peace of mind, fruitful exchanges and pleasures of the senses. > Le Lavandou One flower, then two, then three... The Lavandou, through passion and attentive care lavished on its environment and green spaces, has striven to compose a bouquet of a thousand colours and a thousand scents... until this 4th flower... so coveted, which honours the city of dolphins with this exceptional label in the list of "Cities and Villages in bloom in France". But, in addition to following the "Circuit des espaces fleuris" in the town centre, a visit to Le Lavandou also means going for a walk in the natural site of the Saint-Clair restanques and discovering the many species of the tourist resort.

Stele of the Liberation
4.8 km

Stele of the Liberation

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. On May 8th, 1981, the first flag was presented there to the French Remembrance local committee, created on May 2nd, 1980 on the initiative of M. PONEL, director of the Jean Jaurès school during the occupation and president of the French Remembrance of Hyères.
