Live fully, live well: Provence Méditerranée reveals all its treasures

Dive deep into the forests, roam beneath the pine trees,

Set your sights on the peaks and follow the coastal trails,

Become one with nature among salt marshes and hidden coves,

Sing the Pilou-Pilou anthem at Mayol Stadium and feel the crowd come alive,

Stroll through the markets and savour local specialities,

Taste seafood, tapenade, pistou, cade bread and ker-moco,

Fall for bouquets of mimosa, peonies and bird-of-paradise flowers,

Set sail towards the harbour of designers and return through the fishermen’s port,

Enjoy a workshop, a seaside outing, an open-air cinema evening,

Take a boat to an exhibition, hike up to an ancient castle,

Climb rugged paths and wander alongside olive groves,

Take in breathtaking views from a tower, a cable car or an amphitheatre,

Finish a late-night game of pétanque with neighbours from across the square,

Make the most of the finest beaches and the loveliest village squares,

Escape between land and sea, vineyards and islands,

Choose from endless experiences to enjoy all year round,

Treat yourself, slow down and embrace the Provençal way of life,

The song of the cicadas, the sunshine, the accent, the warmth of the locals,

Endlessly explore this preserved corner of the Mediterranean,

This corner of the Var, from Hyères to Six-Fours via Toulon, where authenticity and the art of living go hand in hand.
