The Var region is where Provence and the French Riviera meet. From Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer to Saint-Raphaël, the Var spans 400 km of Mediterranean coasts with beaches, discrete coves, and wild but accessible natural landscapes that visitors can admire along the coastal footpath. 

The inland country is just as varied as the coast, with its wooded hills, farming plains, lakes, rivers and dizzy canyons. It is this mosaic of varied and highly-contrasted landscapes that lend this colourful region its unique character, authenticity and identity, making it France's second-leading tourist destination after Paris.
