The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Var region
The Var department is situated west of its famous neighbour Côte d’Azur. With its beautiful landscape with both mountains and sea and its sunny Mediterranean weather it is a popular holiday destination all year round.
Along its 300-km long coast, you will find some stylish seaside resorts like glitzy St Tropez and Ste Maxime, as well as some smaller but equally beautiful and charming resorts like Bandol or Le Lavandou. The beautiful Iles d'Or (Porquerolles, Ile du Levant and Pors Cros) are also well worth a visit and can be reached by boat from La Tour Fondue near Hyères.
Inland, you will find delightful and unspoilt hilltop villages, green oak forests and further to the north, the breathtaking Gorges du Verdon with its many water sports and activities. A visit to the Abbaye du Tholonet while the monks sing their evensong can be a most relaxing break from the bustling beaches. The Var region is particularly well known for its Rosé wine and a good fresh Bandol is well worth a meal in a seafront restaurant. The local Gastronomy is bursting with fresh herbs and full provencal flavours.
La Garde Freinet area
La Garde Freinet is set just north of Saint Tropez on the Mediterranean coast. The hills roll in form the higher plains and are luscious with vegetation as they near the sea.
The green oak forests that stretch from east to west are at their thickest here and provide a shady haven to the warmth on the coast, though the climate remains hot for most of 3 seasons. The coastline has many busy beaches and quiet rockier inlets with fine sand and rock pools, but tucked away from the sea here, the villages are quaint and quiet, allowing a more relaxing day around the pool.
Don't miss the markets on Wednesday and Sunday mornings, the 'village des tortues' housing the famous turtles that reside in the Maures forests, and the antiques in Cogolin.
