Discover Dracenie, lands of Provence

​

​

Stretching from the Maures plain to the rooftop of Le Var, this is a land of contrasts; a patchwork of picturesque villages and exceptional natural sites.

Canjuers plateau marks the natural frontier between the vineyards and olive groves to the South and the Alpine landscapes of the Verdon Canyon to the North. 

Attractive villages to visit around Draguignan include Ampus, Les Arcs-sur-Argens, Bargemon, Châteaudouble, Bargème and Comps-sur-Artuby in the Verdon Regional Nature Reserve.

If you appreciate fine wines, this is the heart of the Côtes de Provence terroir!

Thrills and spills fans can enjoy bungee jumping off Europe's highest bridge and paragliding off Le Var's highest summit.
