Typical Villages & Markets

The Var contains many authentic and beautiful hilltop Provençal villages. Let yourself be seduced by the charm of their narrow alleyways, numerous fountains,  picturesque streets and hillside castles. As well in the squares of small villages as in large cities, the Provencal market is a magical meeting to experience during your stay. You will be thrilled by the jovial atmosphere and the multitude of local products such as olive oil, almonds, nougat, wine or Provençal spices.
