Callian is a hilltop village in the Pays de Fayence, in the Var hinterland. Its lanes climb around the castle and pass through a landscape of wooded hills, old houses and small squares. The atmosphere differs from that of the seaside resorts of the French Riviera: here, days are divided between villages, markets, walks and outdoor activities. Travellers wishing to combine the Provençal countryside with trips to the coast will find a varied region to explore.

Callian Castle and the village lanes offer a chance to discover the local heritage; Notre-Dame des Roses Chapel is 160 m away. The neighbouring villages of Montauroux, Tourrettes and Fayence offer further walks among lanes and houses with old façades. Terre Blanche Golf Course is 2.5 km away. Fondurane Biological Reserve offers a natural setting for taking in the landscapes around Lake Saint-Cassien. Cannes and its Palais des festivals are 34 km away, while Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport can be reached by road.

Spring and autumn are well suited to walks through the villages and outings in the hinterland, with temperatures often milder than in summer. In the warmer months, the pool and outdoor areas offer a break after excursions; the coast also makes a day by the sea possible. To vary your itinerary, you can spend a morning in Callian and the hilltop villages, then head towards the landscapes of Lake Saint-Cassien or the beaches of the coast. A car makes it easier to travel between the villages and the region's attractions.
