A listed site on the Var coast
A protected natural environment
Cap Lardier is part of a vast protected natural area that contributes to preserving the landscapes of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Here, Mediterranean vegetation, hills and sea create an authentic setting. This unspoilt setting makes it a sought-after place to discover a more natural facet of the Var.
Classified and protected, the site retains a wild character that contrasts with the more urbanized coastal areas. The Mediterranean scrubland, made up of pines, arbutus and typical southern species, contributes to the cape’s landscape identity. This ecological richness is conducive to the preservation of local flora and fauna, in a largely untouched environment. The management and protection of the site allow visitors to enjoy a remarkable natural area while respecting its balance. Cap Lardier is thus an emblematic example of the preservation of the Var coastline.
