Hotels in Var, France

Var is a department in southeastern France on the Mediterranean coast, with hot, dry summers around 85°F (29°C) and mild winters near 50°F (10°C). It's famous for endless lavender fields blooming from mid-June to late July and the turquoise waters of the Verdon Gorge, where you can rent a kayak in summer or hike the cliffside trails in spring and fall. Instead of just coast, explore perched villages like Bargemon and Tourtour in the cooler months, or hit the beach at Saint-Tropez for swimming and sailing when the sun's high.
