Carces

Built around a medieval castle, Carcès grew into a compact Provençal town above the Caramy River in the Var hinterland. The old centre still follows steep, narrow lanes beneath the remains of the Château de Carcès, recalling the settlement’s feudal past. South of town, the Caramy is held back to form Lac de Carcès, a wooded reservoir used for walking and fishing. Vineyards, olive groves and low limestone hills place the commune firmly in inland Provence, while the Mediterranean coast lies beyond the Massif des Maures.
