The hinterland is home to <strong>7 hilltop villages<\/strong> ranked among the Most Beautiful Villages in France\u00ae. These medieval villages with their stone streets offer unique panoramic views of Provence, far from the hustle and bustle of the coast.  <\/p>\n<h2>Gassin and Seillans: two medieval jewels on a hillside<\/h2>\n<p>Gassin invites you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/en\/2026\/05\/15\/paris-in-may-the-best-free-outings-to-discover-between-exhibitions-museums-and-festivals\/\">stroll<\/a> through its maze of narrow streets. Rue de l&#8217;Androuno, <strong>one of the narrowest in the world<\/strong>, is a must-see. The village has preserved traces of its medieval past, such as the Porte des Sarrasins and the church of Notre-Dame-de-l&#8217;Assomption.  <\/p>\n<p>Away <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/en\/2026\/05\/15\/paris-museums-secret-terraces-17-addresses-for-a-break-from-the-hustle-and-bustle\/\">from the hustle and bustle<\/a>, Germaine L&#8217;Hardy-Denonain&#8217;s garden offers a peaceful panorama. From this vantage point, you can see the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and the surrounding vineyards. This bucolic setting appeals to visitors in search of peace and quiet.  <\/p>\n<p>Seillans, ranked one of France&#8217;s Most Beautiful Villages\u00ae <strong>since 1990<\/strong>, clings to the hillside. Its sloping streets, lined with old houses, and shady squares invite you to take a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/en\/2026\/05\/15\/this-french-park-has-just-dethroned-disneyland-and-puy-du-fou-in-the-tripadvisor-2026-world-rankings\/\">stroll<\/a>. The painter Max Ernst lived here for many years, and his works can still be seen in the village, notably at the Maison Waldberg.  <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The village in the Provence sky<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>A living tradition of craftsmanship<\/h3>\n<p>Seillans also has a long tradition of craftsmanship. The Atelier des Couronnes is home to ceramists who perpetuate local know-how. This activity contributes to the authentic atmosphere of the hilltop village.  <\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, the squares shaded by century-old plane trees offer pleasant stopping places. Visitors can enjoy the mild Provencal climate all year round. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gassin: rue de l&#8217;Androuno and Germaine L&#8217;Hardy-Denonain garden<\/li>\n<li>Seillans: Waldberg house and Couronnes workshop<\/li>\n<li>Bormes-les-Mimosas: Gonzalez park classified as a &#8220;remarkable garden<\/li>\n<li>Tourtour: Place des Ormeaux and its eight fountains<\/li>\n<li>Barg\u00e8me: the highest village in the Var at <strong>1,097 metres<\/strong> above sea level<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Bormes-les-Mimosas and Tourtour: between flowers and altitude<\/h2>\n<p>Bormes-les-Mimosas is one of France&#8217;s most flower-filled villages. Perched high above the Mediterranean, its old town center is a tangle of cobblestone streets. The squares are decorated with mimosa trees, which give the village its name and identity.  <\/p>\n<p>A little way from the center, the Parc Gonzalez, classified as <strong>a &#8220;remarkable garden&#8221;,<\/strong> offers a pleasant plant interlude. The Notre-Dame de Constance site also offers unobstructed views of the Hy\u00e8res harbor and the Golden Isles. <\/p>\n<p>Tourtour, nicknamed &#8220;Provence&#8217;s village in the sky&#8221;, lies at an <strong>altitude of 635 meters<\/strong>. This perched village offers spectacular views over the wooded hills of the Haut-Var. The Place des Ormeaux, with its eight fountains, is the heart of the village.  <\/p>\n<h3>Religious heritage and oil mill<\/h3>\n<p>Tourtour&#8217;s Saint-Denis church is well worth a visit. Its origins date back to the <strong>early 11th century<\/strong>, making it an invaluable witness to local history. The building blends harmoniously into the village landscape.  <\/p>\n<p>The old oil mill, powered by a water wheel, is <strong>still in operation<\/strong>. This installation bears witness to the link between these hilltop villages and Provencal olive growing. Visitors can learn more about the region&#8217;s agricultural traditions.  <\/p>\n<h2>Le Castellet, Cotignac and Barg\u00e8me: strong characters<\/h2>\n<p>Le Castellet is a fortified village with cobbled streets and pale stone houses. Pastel shutters add a colorful touch to the old facades. The <strong>12th-century<\/strong> Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior occupies the heart of the village.  <\/p>\n<p>From the ramparts, the view extends as far as the famous Bec de l&#8217;Aigle, high above La Ciotat. A few kilometers away, the Paul Ricard motor racing circuit, <strong>inaugurated in 1970<\/strong>, has hosted such legendary races as the Formula 1 Grand Prix and the Bol d&#8217;Or. <\/p>\n<p>Cotignac is notable for its impressive tufa rock. <strong>Almost 400 metres<\/strong> long and <strong>80 metres<\/strong> high, it is home to ancient troglodyte dwellings. The Gouffre waterfall can be reached on foot in around fifteen minutes from the town center.  <\/p>\n<p>The sanctuary of Notre-Dame-de-Gr\u00e2ces, just outside the village, is an <strong>important place of pilgrimage in Provence<\/strong>. This site completes the visit to this atypical perched village. Cotignac offers a rare blend of geology and spirituality.  <\/p>\n<p>Barg\u00e8me occupies a special place in the Var. It is the <strong>highest village in the department<\/strong>, perched at an altitude of 1,097 metres. From its ramparts, you can see the Canjuers plateau and the foothills of the Alps.  <\/p>\n<p>The ruins of the Sabran-de-Pontev\u00e8s castle still overlook the village. The <strong>12th-century<\/strong> church of Saint-Nicolas is a reminder of the site&#8217;s strategic role in the Middle Ages. This perched village offers a complete change of scenery for visitors in search of authenticity.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s much more to the Var than its beaches and seaside resorts.
