Bed and breakfasts in Var, between the Côte d’Azur, Green Provence and Verdon
Discover Var: a concentrated portrait of Provence
In the heart of Provence, from the Mediterranean shores of the Côte d'Azur to the impressive Verdon Gorges, the Var brings together several distinct Provençal landscapes. Toulon is its prefecture, a historic port city that deserves more than a quick stop.
The Mediterranean coast
The Mediterranean coast of Var draws many summer visitors, with Saint-Tropez as one of the best-known names on the Côte d'Azur. This coastline is also shaped by beaches, rocky coves, ports and the islands of Hyères: Porquerolles, Port-Cros and Le Levant.
Landscapes between sea, hills and gorges
But the Var is not limited to its sun-soaked beaches. Nature lovers will be delighted by the exceptional landscapes offered by the Massif des Maures, the Estérel, and the Sainte-Baume, as well as the majestic Verdon Gorges, bordered by picturesque villages like Aiguines or Bauduen, on the edge of Lake Sainte-Croix.
The character of inland Provence
In the hinterland, the villages of the upper Var and the Pays de Fayence reveal a quieter Provence, while the Romanesque Abbey of Le Thoronet remains one of the department’s major heritage sites. This is also wine country, with Bandol and the Côtes de Provence as essential references.
A complete Provençal experience
By exploring the Var, every visitor will discover a condensed version of Provence, between heritage, varied landscapes and a strong Mediterranean identity.
