Plan de Canjuers, Limestone plateau in Var department, France
The Plan de Canjuers extends across 34,593 hectares of arid terrain at 900 meters elevation in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
The name Canjuers originates from Campus Julii, marking the path of Julius Caesar during his conquest of Gaul through this limestone territory.
The plateau contains multiple abandoned hamlets, including Saint-Bayon, Chardan, and Grande Nouguière, preserving traces of past rural settlements.
Access to Plan de Canjuers remains restricted as the area serves as Europe's largest artillery training ground since 1971.
The site holds Jurassic and Cretaceous fossils while functioning as both a military zone and a Special Area of Conservation.
