Signes, commune in Var, France
Signes is a French commune located in the Var department within the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, administratively part of the Le Beausset canton in Toulon's arrondissement. The village sits among rolling countryside dotted with lavender fields and typical Provençal architecture, with a compact old town center featuring narrow streets and stone buildings.
Like many Provençal settlements, the village developed from medieval roots connected to farming and pastoral activities that shaped the entire region. Over centuries it remained a small rural community whose character was defined by its connection to agriculture and the cultivation of crops like lavender.
The village is best explored on foot, though narrow streets and uneven pavements require sturdy shoes for comfortable walking. Spring and autumn offer the most pleasant visiting conditions, when temperatures are moderate and the surrounding lavender fields are in bloom or approaching harvest.
