Area and Activities

The departements of the Alpes Maritime and the Var provide a spectacular range of scenery and activities – and La Bastide is located virtually on the border of these 2 regions. Whether you are interested in the glamour of Club 55 in St Tropez or the grottos of St Cezaire, there is something for all ages, interest and capabilities within a short driving, or even walking distance from the house.
