Presentation
Like many of Le Var's villages, Plan de la Tour grew up around its church then expanded into a series of little hamlets - no less than 25 in fact! The hamlets cover a large area and form a sort of circus, bordered by wooded hills where oaks, maritime pines, umbrella pines, rockrose, broom and mimosa flourish. Some of the hamlets are hidden at the bottom of a valley, while others are built against the hillside. All have their own individual character and pretty name, brimming with authentic charm: Reverdit, Prat-Bourdin, Les Pierrons, Vallaury, Les Ricards, Préconil, Les Gambades, Les Gastons, La Buon Aïgo, etc.
Visitors can discover some of these sites by taking a riverside walk on the Sentier des Gorgues footpath, offering lovely views over the surrounding greenery.
