Comment venir en Provence Sud Sainte Baume (Var) ?

As you'll have gathered from browsing the pages of this site, our destination lies between Provence and the Mediterranean, between the lush green massifs of the Var and the blue horizon. That's all well and good, but there's a good chance your GPS won't find your rental address! So to help you locate our region on a map, here's everything you need to know.

A piece of the Var

Le territoire Provence Sud Sainte Baume se trouve à l’extrémité est du Var. Frontière avec les Bouches-du-Rhône, située à seulement 40 km de Marseille, la destination est enlacée par le Parc National des Calanques et la métropole Toulon Provence Méditerranée, puis enclavée dans le nord par le massif de la Sainte-Baume.

To go into more detail, our agglomeration community is made up of the following towns and villages: Saint-Cyr-sur-mer, Bandol and Sanary-sur-mer on the coast; Évenos, Le Beausset, Le Castellet, La Cadière d'Azur, Signes and Riboux in the Provencal hinterland.

Itineraries

By train

Only the seaside towns and the village of La Cadière d'Azur have SNCF train stations. That said, they can be a great starting point for your vacation with us.

The nearest TGV stations are:

Toulon (about 15 minutes from Sanary-sur-mer) ;
Marseille-Saint-Charles (about 1 hour from Saint-Cyr-sur-mer).

From either station, you can take the local TER line, Marseille - Toulon - Hyères. This serves Saint-Cyr-les-Lecques / La Cadière d'Azur, Bandol and Sanary-sur-mer / Ollioules. For more information and timetables.

By car

The A50 freeway passes very close to several of the destination's communes. The main ones are Sanary-sur-mer, Bandol, Saint-Cyr-sur-mer, La Cadière d'Azur, Le Castellet and Le Beausset.

To reach Évenos, Signes and Riboux, you'll have to take the small Provencal roads, which still have a certain charm. Some pass through fields of vines, while others follow the winding foot of local gorges. A road trip you'll enjoy just as much as the finish!
