Le Lavandou

Le Lavandou is a coastal town in southeastern France along the French Riviera. It’s primarily known as a gateway for boat dives to nearby Mediterranean reefs and coastal dive sites, with several local dive centers offering shore and boat dives, courses, and equipment rental. The area features typical Mediterranean conditions: warm summers, mild winters, clear to moderately clear water, and abundant reef fish along rocky seabeds. It’s a practical base for divers visiting the Côte d’Azur, with easy access to protected bays and a range of dive options from shallow shore dives to deeper wall sites nearby.
