Discovering Green Provence

Green Provence is a region located in the heart of the Var department, between the Verdon to the north, and the Maures and Sainte-Baume mountains to the south. It offers a landscape of vineyards, hills, woods and old villages that gives central Var a clearly Provençal identity.

The villages of Green Provence

Cotignac is known for its tuff cliffs and troglodyte caves. The Cours Gambetta, lined with plane trees and fountains, reflects the atmosphere of the villages of central Var.

Perched on a hill, Tourtour is nicknamed "the village in the sky" because of its panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. This village suits visitors looking for quiet streets, relief and Provençal light.

Known as the "truffle capital," Aups attracts many visitors thanks to its popular truffle market in winter. This historic village is also distinguished by its narrow streets, old houses and medieval gates.

Villecroze, another medieval village, is renowned for its troglodyte caves and shaded gardens. Its narrow streets and stone houses give this place a peaceful and authentic atmosphere.

Other villages in Green Provence

In addition to these well-known villages, Green Provence also includes Salernes, Fox-Amphoux, Tavernes, Montmeyan and Sillans-la-Cascade. These places, with their landscapes, springs, old streets and rural heritage, offer many possible stops for discovering central Var.
