Var alone contains a summary of the diversity of Provence. Many holiday
makers stay on the shores of the Mediterranean: the village of Saint-Tropez

offers tourists the sun, sea, and beautiful scenery, such as the islands
of Hyères - Porquerolles, Port Cros and Levant. Var also offers
exceptional natural sites: the Maures, the Esterel and the Sainte Baume,
and of course the spectacular Gorges du Verdon. In the countryside, the
picturesque hilltop villages of the Haut Var and the Pays de Fayence,

vine is ubiquitous in the hinterland of the Var, the wines of Bandol are
high quality wines, rosé wine sunny and popular Côtes de

cicadas.
