Provence Verte: a haven of freshness between river and mountain
What is Provence Verte?
Why are we talking about Green Provence?
Provence Verte is the name given to a conurbation of 43 communes in the Var department. This is how it works, Green Provence is an area located between the Sainte-Victoire mountain and the Argens river. It is particularly well-preserved because it is dedicated to respecting the environment and preserving nature. Over the years, Provence Verte has earned the nickname of the Var's green lung for its lush natural surroundings. The town has been awarded the "Ville ou Pays d'Art et d'Histoire" (Town or Country of Art and History) label for the richness of its cultural heritage, the distinctive features of its architecture and, above all, its desire to promote its history through its historic monuments.
