This market town grew around medieval fortifications built by the Knights Templar, which reveal its strategic importance. These structures shaped the settlement for centuries and left physical traces that remain visible today.

The area is well connected by road to nearby cities like Draguignan and Les Arcs via the D560 route. Getting around the region to explore the surrounding countryside is straightforward thanks to these main road connections.
