Our story

It is necessary to go back more than eight generations to explain the name of this Domain! In 1533, Francis I stayed at noon to celebrate his son's wedding. The Châtelain d'Hyères, Count of Provence, invited the king to hunt deer on his land. Forced by the relief, the King decided to pursue a deer at a walking pace. With his 6'4" he's taking big steps! A very large deer is killed. In homage to François 1st, the inhabitants of Hyères call from the place: "Pas du Cerf".
