The Var is a charming, picturesque department in southeastern France. This department is named after the River Var, which formerly ran along its eastern boundary in Provence. The Var borders the departments of Alpes-Maritimes, Bouches-du-Rhône, and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, as well as the Mediterranean Sea, making it a gateway to the Riviera. Despite its relatively small size, the department offers much for visitors. The Var boasts a more Andalusian climate, with over 300 days of sunshine each year, thanks to its protection from the mountains and northerly weather fronts. This makes it an ideal destination for those who love to bask in the sun. The south of France is renowned for popular holiday destinations like Cannes and Marseille, but the Var region holds many of Provence's best-kept secrets.

Rendez-Vous in Saint-Tropez

The Var is home to Saint-Tropez, a famous coastal resort on the French Riviera that attracts thousands of tourists each year. The department offers visitors many surprises and hidden gems, especially in exclusive areas that provide privacy and luxury.

Toulon: The Heart of the Var

Toulon, the fifteenth-largest city in France, is the capital of the Var and a major military harbour on the Mediterranean coast. The city boasts diverse attractions, including beautiful beaches, nearby island cruises, local mountain hikes, and a historic centre in the old town.

The old town features narrow streets, small squares, charming fountains, and the capital's cathedral, which dates back to the 11th century.

The Cours Lafayette hosts the genuinely Provençal market, featuring local products typical of the area. Toulon offers a lively nightlife, where visitors can enjoy drinks, movies, or dancing.

Serene Living in Provence

The Var is renowned for its peaceful surroundings, privacy, and stunning properties, making it a highly sought-after place to call home. The Telegraph lists the department as one of the 30 short-haul bucket-list places in Europe you must see before you die.

Celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, as well as David and Victoria Beckham, have already discovered the charm of the Var.

Highlights of the Var

The Var has many highlights, including the western Côte d'Azur, the Massif des Maures, and the esteemed Côte de Provence wine region.

Visitors can explore the towns of Lorgues, Flayosc and Seillans, which offer picturesque landscapes and a more traditional Provence experience.

In Le Haut Var, visitors can see old villages perched on hilltops, hike in the Gorges du Verdon or uncover truffles in the vast forests.

An Enchanting Destination

The Var is a perfect destination for tourists seeking a blend of French culture, stunning landscapes, and a relaxed, peaceful environment. Properties here range from modern villas to old stone houses, plus a few cosy village homes. The Var lures you with charming towns, colourful buildings, blue skies, and a Mediterranean lifestyle.
