Nature and Landscape

Sport, nature and landscape: between sea and mountain!
Try out your swing or putt on a green designed by Severiano Ballesteros, try canyoning in the Verdon Gorges, or what about competing in a sea regatta, discovering the Lubéron and its tiny villages by mountain bike or even perfecting your parallel turns on the sunny Southern Alpine ski slopes. Magnificent natural sites and a mild, sunny climate enable you to take part in all your favourite sports in the open air.

Cassis, A Callanque Town

Cassis inevitably evokes the typical colourful fishing port, the rocky inlets and Frédéric Mistral. His famous quote: "Of those who have seen Paris, if they have not seen Cassis, they have not seen anything".
A geographical site: a "City-creek". The quality and the global nature of the landscape are exceptional: Cassis is built in amphitheater by the sea between the Cape Villain and Creeks.

Natural Regional Park of the Verdon

An open book about geology, flora and fauna, and the history of Man, the region of the Verdon is an exceptional spot to discover.
Straddling the departments of the Alpes de Haute Provence and the Var (marked by the meeting of the two Alpine and Mediterranean climates), it gives you the most diverse landscapes.

Mountains, forests, plains and plateaus of farms, lakes, cliffs: it is home to a third of all French flora and to rare animals like the Little Bustard, the Vulture and the Ocellated Lizard.
The Verdon, with its 165 km and 434 million cubic meters of water retained by 5 dams, provides drinking water for the big towns of Provence.

Since 500,000 years ago, Man has left his mark on the territory.
The ruins, art, traditions, the rural culture that has shaped the habitations and worked the land, form the cultural heritage of the Verdon.
