Accommodation and Facilities for the cottage in Salernes, Var, Cote d'Azur - Provence, France

Salernes and its neighbouring villages

Salernes's history dates back to Roman times when the village was the tile making centre of Europe. Today, an enormous choice can be found in both floor and wall tiles and hand-painted ceramic tiles are a popular speciality of the existing tile makers. There are lively markets on Wednesdays and Sundays, together with excellent shopping facilities. During the summer months regular musical evenings in the village square are very popular, creating a typical Mediterranean atmosphere, with bars and restaurants jostling for space under the majestic plane trees. The surrounding villages of Tourtour, 'village in the sky', Lorgues and Entrecasteaux with its château are all worth a visit, as are the picturesque villages of Sillans-la-Cascade, with its impressive waterfall, and Fox Amphoux.

Local distractions

Cycling and walking are both popular outdoor activities in the area with plenty of scope along kilometres of scenic routes away from the main roads. Wild orchids flower in abundance from the beginning of April until mid June, and together with a prolific assortment of wild flowers, make a visit by any enthusiastic botanist worthwhile. Tennis and horse riding can both be found in a around the village and golf 25 minutes by car. The Lac St Croix is a refreshing change to the busy coast in summer, where one can picnic, swim, windsurf, sail or canoe in spectacular and peaceful surroundings. The Gorges du Verdon, reputably Europe's deepest gorge, leads into the lake and merits a visit for its impressive scenery.
