Cap Nègre, Mediterranean cape in Le Lavandou, France.

Cap Nègre is a small Mediterranean cape between the hamlets of Cavalière and Pramousquier, in the commune of Le Lavandou, Var. A rounded headland of grey and brown rock meets the sea along a thin pale shoreline, its upper slopes covered in dense dark green vegetation. Pale-roofed buildings of the closed Domaine du Cap Nègre stand among the trees near the crest and down the gentler right side.

The cape played a strategic role during World War II when African commandos scaled its cliffs in 1944. This operation was part of the liberation campaign that freed Provence from occupation.

The name Cap Nègre comes from Occitan and refers to the dark colour of the rock. The cape holds the Domaine du Cap Nègre, a closed residential estate where the Bruni Tedeschi family owns Château Faraghi, the secondary residence of Nicolas Sarkozy. During his presidency the area was regularly placed under temporary prohibition zones, especially in summer.

The Domaine du Cap Nègre is a closed private estate, so the cape itself is not open to visitors; the small beach nearby, known for its seabed, is the accessible spot. The site lies between the hamlets of Cavalière and Pramousquier, in the commune of Le Lavandou.

The name comes from the Occitan language and refers to the dark coloring of the rock formations at this location. This linguistic heritage reflects an older local tradition that described the place by its natural features.
