Plan de la Tour

Plan-de-la-Tour is a Provençal village in the Var department, nestled in the wooded Maures hills just a short drive from the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and Sainte-Maxime. Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, it retains an authentic character with shaded lanes, old fountains and a local market offering regional produce, particularly olive oil and Côtes de Provence wine. The Giscle river runs through the surrounding countryside, providing cool, shaded spots that are popular in summer. The village makes a peaceful base for exploring the Maures massif on foot or by bike, while still being within easy reach—around fifteen minutes by car—of the well-known beaches along the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. The Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild winters, allows for outdoor activities throughout much of the year. Daily life centres around small local shops, Provençal restaurants and an unhurried village pace, set apart from the busier coastal resorts, making it a favoured choice for a quiet stay in the Var hinterland.
