A camping in the Var, between beaches of the Mediterranean Sea...
... and typical villages of Provence
The town of Le Muy is ideally situated to visit the Var, especially the interior of the country. The sea is only 20 kilometers far from the campsite, with sandy beaches, calanques and creeks, it is easy to go to Frejus – Saint Raphael to enjoy water sports (sailing , windsurfing, diving, nautical skiing, …). Or you can relax yourself at the beach, and swim in the warm water of the Mediterranean sea.
In fact Le Muy is a good departure place to discover the back country of the Var and Provencal landscapes, colored markets with southern flavours and scents, the lake of Sainte Croix and perched villages as Moustiers Saint Marie, the vertiginous landscapes of the Verdon Canyon with emerald waters , and the famous Maures massivs, and the Esterel massivs.
Gorges du Verdon
A gigantic 700-meter deep gorge carved by water and time in the limestone of the platforms of the Provence. The Gorges du Verdon are one of the main tourist sites in the Var, France and even Europe. This unique and spectacular natural wonder can be discovered from the heights by following the ledge road that offers sublime and breathtaking views. Or follow the bed of the river and canoe down the aquamarine waters of these magnificent Gorges in the Verdon.
Le Muy
Between Frejus and Draguignan, among vineyards and forests, the village of Le Muy, where you can actually smell the Provence. Especially on market days (Sunday and Thursday morning) when its central square is covered with colorful stalls of fruit and vegetables or seafood.
The Maures Mountains

Through the forests winds the Corniche des Maures, a tourist route that allows you to discover the most beautiful spots of this area which extends to the west of St Tropez. This beautiful circuit inside the Maures Mountains is rugged with deserted roads crossing 7 passes.

With narrow streets that lead to the top of the hill where the castle once stood, this village is one of the many charming villages that dot the Provence such as Seillans, clinging to the slopes of Mount Auzière, Callian and its castle and Montauroux still known for its chapel with painted wood panels
