Welcome to the good life in Entrecasteaux!

Whether you seek a peaceful vacation with good food, vineyard visits, relaxation, reading, and warmth, or an action-packed stay with hiking, cycling, climbing, and swimming, Entrecasteaux is the perfect hub.

From the village, you can set off in any direction for walks through varied terrain, including hilly paths, gravel roads through the unique Provençal forest, or vineyard trails leading to neighboring villages. This part of Provence also has a unique cycling tradition, featuring forest trails and, notably, routes for wine enthusiasts to cycle between vineyards, restaurants, and wine cooperatives for tastings.

In less than an hour by car, you can reach the beaches of the Mediterranean (St Tropez, St Maxime, Toulon, etc.) as well as the stunning mountain landscapes around the Gorges du Verdon, all amidst the region's ubiquitous vineyards. 

Entrecasteaux

The village is small but has a charming, traditional feeling. Centered around the château, which is best known for its garden designed by Le Nôtre, there are four small restaurants, two cafés, a small grocery store, and of course, a genuine bakery. In the evenings, you can enjoy an aperitif at one of the small outdoor terraces.

The river La Bresque flows through the village, having carved out natural pools and rock formations over millennia, which now offer fantastic swimming opportunities for those interested. It's an indescribably pleasant experience after a day under the Provençal sun.

The municipal sports ground "Grand Prés" offers well-maintained tennis courts, a basketball court, an outdoor gym, a football field, and the region's only cricket pitch. Everything is free and accessible, except for the tennis courts, which can be booked at the village's Bar Central.
