Barjols is a charming village in the Var nicknamed the Tivoli of Provence for its many fountains and centuries-old plane trees. The Gorges du Verdon, the largest canyon in Europe, are close by for spectacular days of hiking, canoeing and swimming in turquoise waters. Sillans-la-Cascade and its 44-metre waterfall . The basilica of Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, the largest Gothic building in Provence, is well worth the detour. The Eurovélo 8 cycle route passes 100 metres from the property, an exceptional asset for cycle tourists travelling around the Mediterranean by bike. Hikes in the Provençal hills, swimming in the lakes and rivers of the Var and lazing in the sun round off the days. The Provençal markets, the Côtes de Provence vineyards, the hilltop villages of the Haut Var and the lavender fields of the Valensole plateau make for a complete stay combining nature, heritage and Provençal gastronomy.
