In the south of France, the Var is a paradise of greenery protected by Provence and the Mediterranean shores.

The Var coast is like no others: it runs 430 km where one sandy beach follows another quiet creeks and umbrella pines. Famous stations are dotted along the seaside which gives the area its fame: Bandol, Hyères, Les palmiers, Bormes les Mimosas, Le Lavandou…. The famous islands of Porquerolles, Port-Cros and Le Levant are close to Hyères and the peninsula of Giens. Inland offers a great contrast, particularly in the valley of Argens which curves among olive-trees hills, vineyards and forests. This valley is also rich in historical architecture (Royal Convent of Saint Maximin La Sainte Beaume, Abbey of Thoronet, Castle of Entrecasteaux...). One can visit the Verdon after having passed the mountain villages which made the history of this country.

The Var offers exceptional views between sea and mountains, and a generous climate. Its environment has preserved all its quality and authenticity much better than the neighbouring region. The implementation in the entire district of constructing regulations and protection rules of woody countryside and seashore allows to preserve the natural beauty of Provence.
