Hotels in Var, France

Var sits on France's Mediterranean coast, with hot, dry summers perfect for swimming and kayaking in the Calanques of Cassis, and mild winters ideal for hiking the Gorges du Verdon or exploring the cobblestone streets of old Toulon. It's famous for its stretch of the French Riviera-think sandy beaches in Saint-Tropez and rocky coves near Hyères-plus inland Provence villages like Cotignac and their centuries-old wine estates. In summer, you can sail the Mediterranean from Bandol; in winter, visit the Port Cros National Park for fewer crowds and cooler temps (around 50°F/10°C).
