Cogolin, Commune in Var department, France
Cogolin is a commune in Var department in southeastern Provence, situated between the Maures mountains and the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. The settlement spreads across hillsides overlooking the sea and preserves a mix of old stone houses, green spaces, and a small marina at the water's edge.
The settlement emerged in medieval times as a small village and later developed into an important administrative center of Var department. Over centuries, the community retained its character while gradually expanding, preserving traditional crafts and its connection to the harbor.
The town maintains ties to Provençal traditions through its weekly markets where local producers sell their goods. Artisans here create traditional products that keep regional heritage alive.
The settlement is best explored on foot, as the old center is compact and walkable. The marina serves as a good landmark for orientation, and most local services are within walking distance from the town center.
The village is known for its reed carpets, a hand-woven craft that has been practiced by local artisans for generations. Visitors can watch workers create this rare art form in small workshops, a tradition found nowhere else nearby.
