Les villages de Caractère du Var
Nestled in sun-drenched plains, hanging from fragrant hills, terraced lands dotted with vineyards and olive groves, proudly clinging to mountains, the Character Villages of the Var have buckets of charm and their assets speak for themselves.
A sculpted facade, an old door, a bas-relief, the altarpiece of a small chapel, all seem to whisper of a past both sacred and popular and full of both history and legend.
Narrow streets and picturesque alleys, bell towers and sundials, water fountains shaded by 100 year-old plane trees, these villages exude the essence of the good life.
