Une île en forêt

In the mountains of la Garde-Freinet, time seems to have stood still ... We offer you a return to the roots, to the values of Nature and the joys it offers us.

La Garde-Freinet is one of those typical villages of the Mediterranean culture dating back to the medieval times. A village steeped in history with its old Fort Freinet which overlooks the Mediterranean basin at 450 meters, thus offering breathtaking views of the bay of Saint-Tropez and a panoramic view of the french Alps. This charming little village of 1 912 inhabitants is part of the 12 municipalities of the Community of municipalities of le Golfe de Saint-Tropez and the Canton du Luc. It is the largest forest and tourist village in the famous Massif des Maures, it opens the way to le Golfe de Saint Tropez… It is impossible not to stop there ... then, why not take the opportunity to stay there ..?
Impossible donc de ne pas vous y arrêter…et pourquoi ne pas profiter pour y séjourner ..?

The visit of the village will enchant you…

Leaving from the Tourist Office, join the Place de l'Hotel de Ville and let yourself go through the narrow cobbled streets which lead you to small squares decorated with stone houses and flowered windows ...
Shopping streets and atypical shops…
to ancient fountains here and there…
restaurants that will cook you good Provencal cuisine…

Not to be missed: the weekly markets every Wednesday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on la Place Neuve!

During Summer, the local atmosphere intensifies with the Provencal markets, the petanque competitions in the village, the outdoor meals organized by the Town Hall and its elected officials, including the “Moules evening” which is a great success each year, the “Theater evenings” in the open air, musical evenings including a ball in le Hameau de La Mourre… We have fun there, we feel good there, there is a pleasant atmosphere…
