The Route du Mimosa is one of the most beautiful scenic routes on the Côte d’Azur during winter. Stretching for around 130 kilometres, it leads from Bormes-les-Mimosas to Grasse and connects eight towns that are transformed into a sea of bright yellow during the mimosa bloom. Along the way, visitors can enjoy Mediterranean landscapes, charming villages and numerous viewpoints overlooking the coast. The best time for this journey is January and February, when the mimosa is in full bloom and the entire region reveals its special spring-like charm. The route can also be easily combined with other excursions along the Côte d’Azur.

High above the Côte d’Azur lies Tanneron, known for the largest cultivated mimosa forest in Europe. When the mimosa trees bloom between January and February, the hills around the village transform into an impressive golden-yellow landscape filled with fragrant blossoms and offering sweeping views over the Esterel Mountains and the coast. The Mimosa Festival in Tanneron celebrates this special season with various events and invites visitors to experience the unique atmosphere of the mimosa bloom up close. The region is an ideal destination for anyone looking to discover the Côte d’Azur from a more natural and peaceful perspective.

On the sunny coast of the Var lies Sainte-Maxime, another beautiful stop along the Route du Mimosa. During the mimosa season in February, the town hosts events celebrating the bright yellow blossoms and offers a wonderful combination of Mediterranean coastal scenery and Provençal charm. Thanks to its location, Sainte-Maxime can be ideally combined with other mimosa destinations such as Mandelieu-La Napoule and the towns along the route. At Casapilot, you will find suitable holiday homes and villas in southern France, perfect for discovering Sainte-Maxime and the surrounding region at your own pace.
