The Var coastline naturally attracts motorhome owners in search of the sea and the good life. In Le Lavandou, the beaches, palm trees, and lively harbor create a quintessential Mediterranean setting.
In spring, the seaside resort showcases local crafts with the Potters' Market, set up right along the waterfront. Many potters and ceramists from all over France gather to showcase their creations. Featuring decorative pieces, handmade tableware, and live craftsmanship demonstrations, the promenade turns into a genuine open-air gallery overlooking the Mediterranean.
Another authentic highlight: the Cavalière Provençal Market, held every Monday morning. Located right near our CAMPING-CAR PARK site, it brings together nearly 90 stalls. Fresh produce, local specialties, fresh fish, clothing, and other regional delights create a warm, typically Provençal atmosphere. It's the perfect chance to sample local flavors while soaking up the charm of Le Lavandou. 🌿
