Villecroze: Troglodyte Caves & Provence Charm
Villages
Villecroze and its cliff-cut caves, a Haut Var village in the Provence back-country, a relaxed day trip from Toulon.
1h20 from Villa Mauricette
Troglodyte Caves
Waterfall Park
Medieval Streets
Olive Oil
Wine
Villecroze keeps a secret, or rather several. Its streets are pleasant enough, with shady squares, stone façades and a sleepy café or two, but step behind the village and the cliff opens up to reveal troglodyte caves carved into the rock, fronted by a cool waterfall park. It's a village that rewards the curious.
What to do
Explore the cliff-cut caves, wander the waterfall park, and lose an hour in the medieval lanes. Local olive oil and wine round off the visit.
Practical information
Getting there: about 1h20 from Toulon via the A8 and D557. Free parking near the park entrance.
Best time: spring and early autumn; summer for the caves and park, arriving early to beat the heat.
Don't miss: the troglodyte caves, the waterfall park, and the medieval lanes.
Mauricette's Tip
Villecroze pairs beautifully with Tourtour, twenty minutes away, or with Sillans-la-Cascade and its waterfall, for a cool, green day inland.
A village with caves and a waterfall, an easy day from the villa. See the house and book direct.
