In order to prepare for the next weekends, getaways and holidays, Le Petit Futé continues its mission as a travel, discovery, good plan and leisure prescriber and invites you to explore France, off the beaten track, with the collection France (63 annual titles) and especially the Var whose new edition has just arrived.
Welcome to the Var! Here beats the vibrant heart of Provence, in an authentic department, acclaimed each year by visitors under the spell and always delighted to make it the number one destination for the summer season in France.
A land of contrasts and natural beauty, we find here an unsuspected diversity of landscapes, from the wild shores of the coast to the foothills of the Verdon and its vertiginous cliffs, passing through the verdant Provence Verte. A department far from the clichés of an arid Provence with more than half of its territory covered by forests.
A haven of coolness when the days at the beach start to get too hot. Summer and winter, in all seasons, you will appreciate its unique sunshine, its choice cultural heritage, which can be appreciated in the middle of August as in February, when the fine weather returns and towns and villages are already celebrating the mimosa to the rhythm flower parades.
Lovers of sport and thrills, hiking, climbing and white water sports are within your reach here, while epicureans will appreciate a rich gourmet terroir, punctuated by very fine renowned restaurants, animated by exceptional products, vineyards of Bandol and Côtes de Provence with Dracénie truffles.
In the pages of this guide, the Petit Futé teams have worked to reveal this vast and diverse territory as only locals know it, always far from clichés and discovering our favorites that will become yours.
