Zoom on the Var:
From Provence to the Côte d'Azur via the Gorges du Verdon.
Spending a holiday in the Var gives you the chance to discover the department from different angles. If you want to hear the cicadas sing, smell the lavender and admire the olive trees, Provence is the destination for you! The sun, the cicadas, the olive trees, the restanques, the characterful villages, the Provençal markets with their inimitable colours, scents and accents...!
The Gorges du Verdon is also an ideal place for sporting and water activities in the Var. Here, nature reigns supreme, surprising and untamed, offering you some fantastic scenery. The Gorges du Verdon are the result of the erosion of the Verdon river on the limestone plateaux of Provence. The Gorges du Verdon is the largest canyon in France and Europe. The gorges can be explored by canoe, kayak, pedalo, raft or on foot. The turquoise waters of the Gorges will amaze you!
The Var also has 300km of coastline. Don't forget your swimming costume and towel when you go on holiday! Saint Tropez, Saint Raphaël, Saint Maxime, Cavalaire, Bandol, Le Lavandou, Saint Cyr... a host of seaside resorts are just waiting for you! If you're looking for sun and sea, the Var is the region for you. The Côte d'Azur in the Var offers you a host of water sports to make the most of the sea: paddle boarding, scuba diving, boat hire... you'll also find sporting activities to enjoy on land, such as cycling or hiking along the marked coastal paths. In the evening, enjoy a family stroll at dusk along the harbour in Toulon or in the streets around your holiday destination. Mediterranean ports are convivial places. Everyone comes together to stroll, have a drink or go to a restaurant... In summer, you'll also find plenty of night markets and craft markets, so you'll be sure to bring back some great souvenirs from your family holiday!
Giving your taste buds a real treat...
France is the queen of gastronomy, and the Var has its specialities too. Wondering what you'll be able to put in your mouth during your holiday in the Var region? We can already tell you: it's all good stuff! On the menu: sun-drenched fruit and vegetables, fish, typical desserts... From tapenade to ratatouille, fish soup to pistou soup... You're in for a treat! For dessert, don't miss the inevitable tarte Tropézienne, the frangipane de Provence à l'ancienne or the pompe à huile. What is an oil pump? It's one of the famous thirteen desserts often eaten at Christmas. As its name suggests, it's a cake made with olive oil, wheat flour, sourdough, sugar and orange blossom. For lunch or dinner, the regional specialities will delight you!
