All produce and producers .

Far from the tourist images of the coast, the Var is an agricultural region with many small farms. Its varied and fertile soil have allowed many industries to thrive.

The Var’s biggest, world-leading industries include wine of course (especially rosé), as well as olive oil, figs, honey, chestnut and truffles, and cut flowers (mimosa, Vacherot orchids and many other varieties). The Var also rears livestock, to produce delicious cheeses, as well as saffron (largely in Dracénie and the Verdon), spirulina, fruit and vegetables, and Provençal cane used to make reeds, which are exported across the world.

Traditionally welcoming, varied, colourful and friendly, these markers bring together the best local produce direct from the farm or products from artisan workshops. They are a showcase of traditional skills from each ‘country’, of the wealth and diversity of production.

The producers are committed to a charter of good practice, guaranteeing to the consumer excellent, seasonal produce, high-quality production and processing processes and transparent agricultural practices.

In the small markets, you can buy directly from the farmers, whilst tasting high-quality produce. Markets are held throughout the year in Toulon and Le Pradet, whilst various other villages have seasonal markets.
