Hotel Rayol-Candel : on the road of Mimosa

The mimosa ? No doubt you know its history !
It was the English, settled on the French Riviera, who brought the mimosa during the nineteenth century. Imported from Australia around 1850, the mimosa was used as decoration of the gardens and the sumptuous homes of the coast.

Today, the Route du Mimosa is a recommended tourist route in winter (early January to late March) that takes you to the discovery of eight towns and villages of the South of France. Under the mild climate of the Riviera, the Hotel Les Terrasses du Bailli invites you to stroll through the cities and villages of Provence where the bright yellow mimosa contrasts beautifully with the blue sky and the sea.

Among the 8 cities and villages constituting the road of Mimosa, Rayol-Canadel is the second step of the way. This village houses the Domaine du Rayol, a huge garden where different varieties of Mediterranean plants express themselves but also where we can find plants from around the world. This quiet village also houses Les Terrasses du Bailli, a 3-star hotel in Rayol-Canadel.
Over time, the mimosa, this fluffy and color sun flower, became one of the emblems of the French Riviera in winter.
