Plage des Américains

Plage des Américains is a beach area on the shore of Lake Saint-Cassien where visitors can swim and relax by the water. This spot provides direct access to the lake with views toward the forested hills and Esterel mountains that frame the landscape.

This swimming area was developed in the early 1990s as part of a regional effort to expand tourism in the Var department. The location was selected because its lakeside position provided a natural recreation destination for travelers.

This spot attracts families and visitors looking for a casual water experience on the shores of the lake. People gather here to spend time in the sun and enjoy simple swimming pleasures typical of Mediterranean summer life.

The area is open from spring through fall, with summer months offering the best swimming conditions. Visitors should arrive early to find parking and bring sun protection and water, as the sun is strong near the lake.

The name comes from a historical connection to American visitors who came to this region in the 20th century. This link to American leisure culture gave the spot a distinctive place in local memory.
