Solliès-Toucas is a village in the Var, set in the Gapeau Valley amid a Provençal landscape of hills and small communities. Its centre and streets offer a glimpse of village life, away from large urban neighbourhoods. The stay suits travellers who want to alternate walks nearby with visits to Var villages and trips to Toulon or the coast. Solliès-Toucas village is 350 m away; you can reach its streets and public spaces on foot.

At 1.2 km, the Oppidum du Castellas offers an excursion to an ancient hilltop site. Solliès-Ville, 2.8 km away, is another Provençal village to explore amid the hills. Toulon, 18 km away, is worth visiting for its port, central streets and museums; the area around the railway station also provides connections into the city. Toulon-Hyères Airport is 14 km away. A car makes it easier to visit the villages and travel to the coast, while the railway stations at Solliès-Pont and Cuers offer other ways to get around.

The region is suited to outings throughout the year: choose a morning to wander around a village, then spend the afternoon in Toulon or walking in the hills. In spring and autumn, temperatures are often milder for walking; in summer, plan visits for early in the day and save the hottest hours for a break in the shade. The markets and agricultural landscapes of the Var also offer plenty to explore in neighbouring communities, while still leaving time for a day on the Mediterranean coast.
