Info

At the gateway to the Mediterranean, in the heart of a radiant and generous natural environment, Puget-sur-Argens admirably combines culture, traditions, sporting activities and magnificent landscapes. Ideally located in the heart of the Esterel, this authentic village is one of the highlights of the Var department. A multifaceted territory, Puget-sur-Argens is an ideal destination for family holidays and nature getaways.

In the lower valley of the Argens, the former fortified town of Puget-sur-Argens is a real little cocoon steeped in history. With its narrow streets with beautiful houses, fountains and old facades, Puget-sur-Argens is definitely worth a visit. Surrounded by a thick pine forest and very pleasant rivers along which it is pleasant to stroll along the regional charms, the village of Puget-sur-Argens has some very beautiful monuments that you will have to visit: the Belfry Gate of the Clock Tower, located on the former city walls, is one of the oldest historical testimonies of the town, as is the bell tower of 1775 which stands above it. The Gothic church of Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur (known for its Roman milestone that marked the passage of the Via Aurelia, a route linking Gaul to Italy), but also the Espace Cézanne, the fountain in Place Le Bigot, the Romanesque chapel of Sainte Philomène and the Roman millstone quarries are also worth a visit. Take rue Marie Curie to discover its picturesque atmosphere with its very flowery houses, but also rue Callas, the oldest street in the village: the latter is recognizable by the basement windows on its floor, which were once used to pass the grapes through the cellars to make wine. It will be impossible for you to stay in Puget-sur-Argens without crossing the path of a vineyard or vineyards, scattered here and there all around the city: Also, if you are a wine lover, you will be able to visit cellars, meet wine professionals, or participate in tastings, especially at the Domaine de Cabran, Château de Vaucouleurs, and Domaine le Bercail, which are among the most beautiful vineyards in the Argens Valley and Puget-sur-Argens and are used to opening their doors to enthusiastic visitors. But the history of the town is also closely linked to the history of the Way of Santiago de Compostela which crosses Puget-sur-Argens: during your travels in the city, you can discover many major sites linked to this legendary journey, thanks to the presence of small golden plaques that guide pilgrims to discover the heritage of Santiago de Compostela. The course in Var is also adored by walkers who, along its 138 kilometres through the Moors and the glowing rocks of the great Esterel mountains, can contemplate some of the region's most beautiful panoramas. If you like family hiking, then we advise you to go to Saint-Raphaël to take the "Circuit des trois lacs" in the heart of the Colle du Rouet volcanic massif, to discover the beauty of the Bois de Malvoisin, the banks of the Argens or to take the "Les Meulières" route, famous for being the family hike to do in Puget-sur-Argens.

As for leisure activities in addition to hiking, young and old alike will be able to give free rein to their desires and practice a wide range of outdoor sports: accrobranche, tennis, horse riding, mountain biking, paintball, wakeboarding and teleskating on the "Southwakepark" side, inflatable water games on Lake Gaudrade, idleness and swimming on the beaches of the Côte d'Azur less than 10 kilometres from there... You can choose!
