Besse-sur-Issole is a Provençal village in the Var, set among hills, pine forests and small country roads. The village centres on its lanes and lake, in a part of the hinterland where the villages are close to one another. The area suits travellers looking to combine walks, heritage and days of relaxation in surroundings less coastal than the seaside resorts.

The village of Besse-sur-Issole is 1.9 km away; you can explore its centre and the area around the lake. La Celle Abbey, 11 km away, is a remarkable medieval monastic complex known for its Romanesque architecture. At 15 km, Thoronet Abbey is one of Provence’s major Cistercian abbeys. Carnoules station is 5.3 km away and provides access to the regional rail network. A car makes it easier to explore the villages and sites of the hinterland.

In spring and autumn, milder temperatures are well suited to visits to the abbeys and walks in the hills. In summer, the swimming pool offers a break after an excursion, while you can spend the day exploring the villages of the Var or taking a trip to the Mediterranean coast. A visit to Thoronet Abbey can be combined with a drive through the surrounding wooded landscapes; another day could be spent strolling around Besse-sur-Issole and visiting La Celle Abbey. Discover the region at a leisurely pace, among religious heritage, Provençal countryside and villages.
