In the 11th century, the Lords of Fos settled on the top of theCasteou hill (204 m) and built a powerful fortress - one ofthe largest in Provence.Ruled by Charles I of Anjou, brother ofSaint Louis, King of France, a city developed below thefortress which is now a perfect example of a frenchmedieval village. But when in 1481, Provence becamepart of the kingdom of France, the royal city of Hyeresfell into oblivion, until the visits of François I in 1529,then Charles IX and his mother Catherine de Mediciin 1564. However, the city was devastated during thereligious wars. Later on, Louis XIII orderedthe demolition of the castle : the fortress was consideredtoo powerful, as the “League” of Lords was raising againstthe royal order.

"The Parc is kind of nice, and the historic 'villa' (now a museum) above it, but the best part is walking up the hill through the old town and going further than the park, to the top of the hill and to the ruins of the castle on the top."
"Just visited this park a week ago. It was lovely. Quite a hike up hill to get there but well worth the walk. The gallery was closed but I didn't mind because the gardens are so beautiful what more do you need. The whole family loved this place. Flowers were gorgeous and I got lots of ideas of thing..."s I would like to do at home. The view to the Mediterranean was amazing.

"Much less touristic than other old towns in the vicinity, such as St Paul de Vence. To the point of being a bit run down and with streets not always that clean. But very authentic and beautiful in its own way. Especially since it is on a very steep hill, with houses built to adjust to the slope. It..." is a worthwhile experience, a world of its own. Climb all the way to the top of the hill and the castle ruins, it is worth it.
