It was the Greeks who first discovered this coast in 600 BC, and traces of
their settlement still remain. But it is the Romans whose colonizing influence that was the more important, and is the more evident today. The landscape is spectacularly beautiful and dramatically diverse. The coast around Toulon is indented with sheltered harbours, there are long sweeping expanses of almost vertical cliffs, interrupted only by some of France’s finest beaches. Further east there are great promontories such as Cap Bénat and, of course, the St Tropez peninsula. A few miles inland the Villages are ancient and perched above gorges or gazing across limestone plateaux. The hills are often terraced with olives and vines, and the air is heavy with pine, lavender, wild thyme and rosemary.
