Seillans: Le Cuinier - Fayence - Saint-Paul-en-Forêt - Fréjus - Saint-Raphaël - ORPI Esterel Côte d'Azur

Tucked into the wooded hills of the Pays de Fayence in eastern Provence, Seillans is a place whose character is shaped by its steep, terraced setting. Its medieval centre climbs through narrow lanes and small shaded squares, where stone houses trace the village’s long hillside development. Seillans belongs to Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, the national association recognising villages for their heritage and setting. The German surrealist Max Ernst lived here with the American artist Dorothea Tanning, adding a notable modern-art chapter to the village’s story. Olive groves and woodland beyond the old core place Seillans firmly in inland Var, between the Côte d’Azur and the Provençal uplands.

Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur occupies France’s southeastern Mediterranean coast and Alpine borderlands. Its terrain runs from the Rhône delta and the Camargue wetlands to the limestone coves of the Calanques and the high valleys of the French Alps, while the Côte d’Azur forms its celebrated shoreline. Marseille, France’s oldest city, is a major port, and Avignon’s Palais des Papes recalls the 14th-century papal court. Inland, Provençal markets, olive cultivation and lavender-growing areas remain central to regional identity.
