The Var boasts beautiful landscapes, both mountains and sea, and a sunny Mediterranean climate. The regional capital Brignoles is a lively market town, famed for its wild mushrooms, olives, sheep's cheese and superb rose wine. In addition to an excellent market on Saturday, the town has several supermarkets, good restaurants and plentiful leisure activities. In August the town hosts a spectacular three-day medieval festival.
The central location of the Var/our villa gives a unique opportunity to explore the whole of Provence/Cote d'Azur. To the north are hill-top medieval villages, to the south idyllic beaches along the coast between St. Tropez and Toulon. The local area is steeped in history: spectacular Roman architecture can be found around Arles, Avigon and Aix. For those who seek more excitement the proximity of the motorway means that the lively cities of Nice, Marseille and Monte Carlo are easily reached for a day trip of shopping, museums, art galleries or even gambling!
