Bormes-les-Mimosas is near the coast, approximately halfway between Toulon and St Tropez.
The romantic sounding 'les Mimosas' part of the name was added in 1968, presumably to celebrate the fact that there are many trees, bushes and flowers in the town, adding to it's already substantial appeal.
The village is on a steep hill, with a castle at the top and a myriad of narrow streets winding down the hill below, lined with pretty house, lots of flowers, and boutiques and posh shops. The tourist office has information on the highlights in the village, including especially the flowers and gardens and the fountains - there are at least 12 fountains in the village - see how many you can find!
From the castle - also approached by a pretty plant surrounded path - there are lovely views across the Mediterranean to the Iles d'Hyeres
There are several stunning and exclusive beaches near Bormes, including Cabasson and Brégançon.
