Le
Cannet-des-Maures.

Wine TastingHiking

Le Cannet-des-Maures sits amid cork oak forests in the Côtes de Provence wine region of the Var. The oaks' thick, reddish bark still marks the slopes above the vineyards. Vineyards cover the flatter ground below, part of the appellation that runs across this part of the Var. Rows of vines lead toward the village center, where a local market sells wine, olive oil, and produce from nearby farms. Stone houses and narrow streets form an old core built for daily village life, with cafés opening onto small squares. Pine and cork oak woodland climbs the slopes just beyond the vines, crossed by hiking paths. Forest, vines, and village together give Le Cannet-des-Maures a grounded, working character typical of inland Provence.
