Cotignac

Village of character in Provence Verte

A typical Provencal village and a major pilgrimage site in Christian Provence, Cotignac stands at the foot of an 80-metre cliff. From the rock, you can admire a spectacular view over the hills and hinterland of the Var region. Here, troglodyte dwellings, ancient refuges during barbarian invasions, blend naturally into the scenery. In the heart of the old village, stroll along the narrow streets lined with 16th- and 17th-century stone houses, relax in the shade of the century-old plane trees and enjoy the lively café and restaurant terraces by the fountains.
