Aups is a village in the Haut-Var, amid hills, forests and small Provençal roads. Its old lanes converge on lively squares, and the collegiate church of Saint-Pancrace marks the village skyline. The truffle market and local produce give the village a distinctive food culture, particularly appreciated in winter. It suits visitors who want to discover inland Provence, with its villages and natural areas rather than the coast.

From Le Grand Hotel Restaurant, you can explore the collegiate church, the Maison de la truffe and the streets of the centre on foot. The market in Place Frédéric Mistral brings local life to the square. The troglodyte caves of Villecroze offer a distinctive outing among dwellings carved into the rock and the village gardens. Further south, Lake Sainte-Croix opens up the landscapes of the Verdon: its shores are suited to swimming and water sports, while the gorges attract hikers and canoeists. A car makes it easier to visit the villages and natural sites in the area.

For a day out nearby, you can spend the morning exploring Aups’ lanes and local specialities, then head to the lake or gorges in the afternoon. Markets and walks are especially enjoyable in spring and autumn, when temperatures are generally milder. Summer is a good time to enjoy the lake, but more visitors come to the Verdon sites; setting off early makes visits easier. In winter, truffle season brings local culinary traditions to the fore.
