Gars
The village is tucked around the foot of Gars mountain at the confluence of the Estéron and many small valleys, in an isolated, untamed natural setting.
Gars is a tranquil getaway, far from the bustle of the world, an inspiring place of surprising architecture, its village houses packed tightly together, shoulder to shoulder, beneath the mountainside.
Water is here in abundance, cascading through the middle of the village, as multiple springs feed the Roman-era fountains and washhouses.
It is the birthplace of celebrated educationalist Célestin Freinet.
