Le
Pradet.

Le Pradet sits on the Var coast between Toulon and the Giens peninsula, where pine-covered hills slope down to small coves and sandy beaches. The commune is known for Cap Garonne, a geological reserve with galleries cut into the cliffside that reveal mineral formations once worked by miners.

Inland, paths climb through the wooded hills behind the village, opening onto wide views of the Mediterranean and the islands offshore. The surrounding Var countryside grows the grapes of Côtes de Provence, and the local markets sell the rosé, olive oil and seafood that make up the everyday table here.

Life in Le Pradet follows the tides, the weekly markets and the seasonal rhythm of the vineyards.
