Welcome to the Var...
Ask someone who lives there. "The most beautiful Departement in France", will be the answer. It may well be right.
Is there another region that combines rock and sea, beach and vineyard, sun and offshore breeze. That contrasts the reds, greens and turquoise blues of the Esterel rockfaces, the pinewoods des Maures, the waves off Cap Be nat. Or where plane trees, palms, mimosas and cork-oaks give shade and colour to squares, trails, hills and bays?
And what of the villages, with their lulling fountains, flowered balcomes, and narrow old streets leading to quaint little places? The picturesque aroma-filled markets, and the ports, inlets, coves and islands where fishing craft moor side by side with glamorous yachts?
The people of the Var, proud of their refined simplicity, Proven~al accent and the fame of Saint Tropez, Sainte Maxime, Cavalaire and Lavandou, certainly have a point.
