The village of Collobrières dates from the 12th century, and is the capital of the region. Seven restaurants serve excellent food in Collobrières, including one with a particularly good reputation. Also in the village are three bars, three grocery stores, a butcher, two beauty salons and several gift shops. Collobrières is a very traditional village with a fountain in the centre of the square, a ruined 12th century church, and a 14th century mill. For recreation, there is a good choice of hiking trails, and tennis courts nearby.

Collobrières is centrally located in the middle of the département of Var. The summer months are filled with festivals and concerts.

During the last three weeks in October, the village hosts the annual Chestnut Festival, celebrating the region’s primary industry. Vineyards are spread throughout the region, and many of them welcome visitors.

It’s a short drive to the beaches of the Mediterranean and the seaside restaurants. For a good day trip, the nearby cities of Toulon and Aix-en-Provence provide a rich pallette of Roman and medieval history, culture, and entertainment.

Also within easy reach is the Canyon du Verdon, which offers a variety of outdoor sports including canoeing and white-water rafting.
