The Var is one of the three most wooded departments in France and the Maures mountain range includes 80km² of woodland. In fact, our beautiful region of Provence Alpes and Côte d’Azur is made up of over 45% woodland.
The natural environment includes fragile habitats that need protecting. Take some time to get to know more about the area, particularly the Maures plain national nature reserve.
Le Massif des Maures est également une zone pour certaines espèces animales et végétales.
The Maures mountain range is also a Natura 2000 zone for certain animal and plant species.
