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 is bordered by the departments of Alpes-Maritimes, Bouches-du-Rhône, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, and the Mediterranean Sea, which makes it a gateway to the Riviera. Despite the department's relatively small size, it has much to offer visitors. The Var boasts a more Andalucian climate with over 300 days of sunshine throughout the 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 its many popular holiday destinations, including 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, attracting 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, serves as the capital of the Var and is a major military harbour on the Mediterranean coast. The city boasts diverse qualities, including its beautiful beaches, nearby island cruises, local mountain hikes, and historic centre in the old town. The old town is filled with narrow streets, small squares, charming fountains, and the capital's cathedral, which dates back to the 11th century. The Cours Lafayette hosts the genuinely Provencal market, featuring local products typical of the area. Toulon offers a lively atmosphere at night, 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 mentions 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. Typical properties here vary from modern villas to old stone houses, as well as a few cosy village homes. Be lured to the Var by the charming towns, colourful buildings, blue skies and Mediterranean lifestyle.
