Two reasonable
hotels
in old Bormes are
La Terrasse
, 19 place Gambetta (tel 04.94.71.15.22; 160-220F/€24-34; closed Nov & Dec), with simple rooms; and the rather plain and old-fashioned
Bellevue
, on place Gambetta (tel 04.94.71.15.15; 160-220F/€24-34; closed Oct-Jan). In Cabasson, there's also the very attractive and peaceful
Les Palmiers
, 240 chemin du Petit-Fort (tel 04.94.64.81.94, fax 04.94.64.04.93.61; 500-600F/€76-91; closed mid-Nov to Dec; half-board compulsory in summer), with its own path to the beach. All
campsites
are just below the main road or in La Faviere by the mindlessly ugly pleasure port, closer to Le Lavandou than to Bormes. One of the best options is the four-star
Clos-Mar-Jo
at 895 chemin de Benat (tel 04.94.71.53.39; closed Oct-March). For more information, the
tourist office
in Bormes is on place Gambetta (June & Sept daily 9am-12.30pm & 2.30-7pm; July & Aug daily 9am-12.30pm & 3-8pm; Oct-May Mon-Sat 9am-12.30pm & 2-6pm; tel 04.94.01.38.38,

).
Good
restaurants
include
La Tonnelle des Delices
, on place Gambetta (tel 04.94.71.34.84; closed Wed; menus from around 120F/€18.30), specializing in local honey-based recipes such as
lapin de blanc de Provence; L'Escoundudo
, 2 ruelle du Moulin (tel 04.94.71.15.53; closed Mon & Tues midday out of season; 110F/€16.78 midday menu, otherwise 180F/€27.45), whose
carte
varies between traditional Provencal and
gastronomique
; and
Pates ... et Pates
, on place du Bazar (tel 04.94.64.85.75; closed Tues), which serves the best pasta in town for 100-150F/€15.25-22.88. More ordinary dinners can be had at the less expensive hotels listed above. Other useful information
