Var is a sun-soaked department in the heart of Provence, between the glamorous Côte d’Azur and the rolling vineyards of inland France. From the coastal charm of Saint-Tropez to quiet villages like Cotignac and Fayence, Var offers lavender fields, rosé wine, olive groves, and endless blue skies. The region boasts one of the highest concentrations of sunshine in France.
Second-home owners are drawn by its balance of access and authenticity — you’re close to the Riviera, yet surrounded by nature and Provençal life. With local markets, Mediterranean beaches, and rustic-chic properties, Var offers an elevated version of relaxed countryside living.
