Photos Le Muy

Le Muy is a small town in the eastern part of the department of Var (district of PACA). This typical provençal town has been attracting in increasing numbers local and foreign vacationers, visitors and settlers particularly because of its favourable situation.

Nestling comfortably in the valley of the Argens river between the Maures and the Esterel mountains, Le Muy is halfway between Fréjus/StRaphael and Draguignan , the latter being the subprefecture (the second important town) of Var. From here it takes only half an hour to go to the beaches and to the gulf of St Tropez and not more than two and a half hours to reach the nearest ski stations in the Southern Alps.

Le Muy is easily accessible from an exit of the A8 motorway which makes it possible to reach either Nice or Marseille in about an hour. The TGV train station in Les Arcs sur Argens at only 10 min from here facilitates trips to Paris and other train destinations. And it takes only 45 minutes to go to the international airport of Nice.

The town hosts every Thursday and Sunday morning the most important provençal market in the area with its typical products like lavender honey, olives and olive oil, rosé wine, locally-grown vegetables and fruit, as well as various hand-made works of the local artists and craftsmen.
