Église Saint-Pierre de l'Almanarre

The Saint-Pierre de l'Almanarre abbey features thick stone walls, round arches, and strong pillars characteristic of thirteenth-century Provençal religious architecture.

Construction of the Saint-Pierre de l'Almanarre abbey began in 1220, during a period of expanding monastic influence throughout medieval Provence.

The abbey holds regular heritage day events where visitors can learn about medieval religious practices and architectural techniques from local historians.

Visitors can reach the abbey by taking the number 39 bus from central Hyères to L'Almanarre district, with tours available from April through October.

The abbey stands near the archaeological remains of Olbia, a Greek colony from the 4th century BCE, creating a multi-layered historical site.
