The Var is divided into three areas; the Côte d’Azur with its wonderful beaches and sparkling sea, L’Arriere-Pays Varois (inland) with its hills, valleys, plantations and pine forests and home to a massive agricultural production of wine, olive oil, honey, fruit and vegetables, and Le Haut (high) Var with its breathtaking Verdon Canyon, lakes, rivers and waterfalls.

Provence produces quality food; olives and olive oil, goats cheese, truffles, chestnuts, fresh sea fish and herbs.
