Collobrières

The village sits among oak and chestnut forests in the Maures mountains, featuring narrow cobblestone streets that wind between traditional stone buildings.

During the 19th century, Collobrières established itself as a central hub for cork production, utilizing the bark from extensive local oak forests.

The Chestnut Festival takes place during the final three Sundays of October, bringing together local producers, craftsmen, and traditional food demonstrations.

Visitors can explore the region through three marked trails: a 2-kilometer botanical path, a 6-kilometer discovery route, and a path through chestnut groves.

The Confiserie Azuréenne, operating since 1945, produces natural marrons glacés using traditional methods and locally harvested chestnuts.
