The Var in Provence

With some of the best beaches and resorts in France, medieval villages amid pine forests, Roman ruins, and superb sun-rich rosé wine from its many vineyards, the Var is a delight for all the senses. The Var includes St-Tropez but also places like Tourtour, the 'village in the sky'. There are amazing landscapes for hiking, biking and rock-climbing, and cultural festivals all through the summer.
