The village would have been founded by Genoese fishermen and three hypotheses are put forward as to the origin of its name: lavadou (washhouse in Provençal), lavandula stoechas (variety of lavender) or lavendour, the "hard east wind". Until 1913, the Lavandou was a district of Bormes, when it became a commune in its own right. Entirely turned towards the sea, Le Lavandou is one of the most prominent tourist resorts of the Var coasts. Its port can accommodate up to one thousand one hundred pleasure boats and its twelve beaches are undoubtedly its best attraction. Its nickname of "station with twelve sands" is not usurped.
