In 1923, Robert Mallet-Stevens sketched the Villa Noailles, a modernist statement perched 118 meters above Hyères, all roof terraces, patios, and an indoor pool. Today it stages Design Parade shows and materials tied to patrons Charles and Marie-Laure de Noailles. Below, the medieval lanes slope toward the 12th‑century Collégiale Saint‑Paul and remnants of the walls. Turn after turn, Parc Saint‑Bernard works as a lookout over the salt pans and the Îles d’Hyères, with Porquerolles almost straight ahead, 10 km off.
Here’s how the outing flows: pick‑up from your hotel in Hyères or La Capte, a Mercedes at your disposal, and flexible stops. While your driver handles the climbs, you tour Villa Noailles, linger in the Cubist Garden, then glide down—five minutes—to the old town for coffee on Place Massillon. With a private chauffeur in Hyères, you secure timed entries when needed, skip the parking hunt, and reach the viewpoints just a 300‑meter stroll from Parc Saint‑Bernard’s gate.

Your chauffeur’s tip
To dodge Design Parade crowds (late June–early July), arrive around 9:45 and book a timed exhibition slot online; the morning light flatters the raw-concrete facades.
