Location & what to see
Cotignac is a Provençal village in the Var, with lanes that climb towards a tuff cliff dotted with former troglodyte dwellings. Cours Gambetta runs through the centre, where you can see the village façades and Notre-Dame de l’Annonciation Church. The setting suits travellers who enjoy small towns, walks and the pale-stone landscapes typical of the Var hinterland.
The Rocher de Tuf and its troglodyte dwellings give Cotignac its most distinctive character; you can discover them as you explore the village and its passageways. Cotignac Waterfall makes for a short escape into nature. Thoronet Abbey, a remarkable example of Cistercian architecture, can be visited nearby. Further afield, the Verdon Regional Natural Park offers hiking opportunities and outings amid its plateaux and gorges. A car makes it easier to visit the villages and natural sites; Brignoles is the railway station listed in the surrounding area.
In spring and autumn, temperatures are well suited to walks around the village and visits to its heritage sites. Summer brings warmer weather to the Var: plan walks for the morning, then enjoy the swimming pools during the hottest hours. You could start the day exploring the lanes and the Rocher de Tuf, before visiting Thoronet Abbey or heading out to the landscapes of the Verdon. The wine estates around Cotignac offer another way to discover local produce.
