Sanary-sur-Mer, Mediterranean coastal commune in Var department, France
The harbor features traditional wooden fishing boats called pointus alongside modern vessels, with pastel-colored houses and palm trees lining the waterfront.
Originally part of Ollioules, the settlement gained independence in 1688 through a decree from Louis XIV and received its current name in 1923.
The town served as a refuge for German writers and intellectuals during the 1930s, including Thomas Mann and Bertolt Brecht who fled Nazi persecution.
The daily morning fish market next to the port offers fresh catches from local fishermen, while the main market occurs every Wednesday.
The Frederic Dumas International Diving Museum displays early diving equipment developments, reflecting the town's connection with Jacques Cousteau's innovations.
