General overview
Draguignan is an ideal central point, if you want to spend a relaxing holiday by the water then this is not our place. Draguignan is the perfect place if you are looking for a dynamic, active and cultural vacation.
In the immediate vicinity, visit on foot :
- Beaux-arts museum
- The executioner's house
- The American cemetery
- The historic center
A large market is held every Saturday morning and allows you to stock up on excellent local products.
Draguignan is a city of arts with its dedicated street in which you will find many galleries to satisfy your passion or your curiosity.
Visit the sublime Provencal villages adjacent to Draguignan: "Flayosc, Lorgues, Taradeau, Figanières, Bargème, La Bastide, Salernes" among other villages, each more adorable than the last. Go to Sillans-la-Cascade to discover the waterfall of the same name, a timeless moment and easy to access. In the nearby town walk the 70 meter long and 30 meter high Trans Falls Himalayan footbridge.
230 kilometers of hiking are around Draguignan, there is no doubt that you will find the pearl that corresponds to your level and to all the members of your family. Nearby you will find the start of the Verdon regional park, a natural and green setting and starting point for numerous hiking trails of fabulous beauty.
15km away, visit the hilltop village which in my opinion is one of the most adorable and picturesque you can see, that of Tourtour, before or after stopping at Villecroze to visit its historic center, its waterfall and its caves.
I sincerely love my city for everything it offers in immediate and quick proximity, when you love nature and the great outdoors you couldn't dream of a better place.
Draguignan has the advantage of being a central point of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA), the car is absolutely essential in order not to miss anything of this great and incredible region.
- 1 hour away you will find the world capital of perfume: Grasse
- 1 hour from the sublime city of Nice and its famous Promenade des Anglais
- Sainte-Maxime, Fréjus and their first beaches are only 30 minutes away by car, allowing you to take well-deserved breaks.
-Saint Tropez, its port, its museum and its Place des Lices are only 55 minutes away.
Personally, I recommend visiting rather than Saint Tropez the villages of Port Grimaud and Ramatuelle which are extraordinary in their charm, you will find in Ramatuelle one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe which is called Escalet beach as well as the very famous and magnificent Pampelonne beach.

Neighbourhood
The apartment is located 10 minutes walk from the city center in a quiet area. It has two terraces for outdoor dining on long summer evenings. The accommodation is really very quiet, the neighbors are very discreet. Maybe I'm not objective, but I love my apartment!
You will find a supermarket and several bakeries at the bottom of the building and all the restaurants and shops within a maximum of 10 minutes on foot, it is really the luxury of not having to use the car.
Just downstairs from the apartment you have a supermarket, bakeries, butcher's shop. A 10-minute walk away you have the town center with its restaurants, bars and shops. In Draguignan you can do everything on foot, the car will only be useful for your getaways. Draguignan is a very pleasant and sunny town most of the year, it rains very little even in winter.
Getting to my home
15 minutes by car you will find the "Les Arcs-Draguignan" station, it is very practical if you want to arrive by train then go to us by bus and also very useful if you prefer to go to the big cities by train which is sometimes a good option to avoid traffic.
You can arrive via Nice airport 1 hour away by car.

Getting around
In Draguignan you can do everything on foot but a car is necessary if you want to visit our beautiful region.
I spent a wonderful week in Marine's home. My golden retriever Dexter was with us.
When we arrived, Marine and Tarek greeted us personally and showed us the apartment. In addition to a perfectly clean apartment, we even received a welcome gift. Communication with Marine was also quick, very friendly, relaxed and absolutely problem-free. I would swap places with Marine again at any time and can 100% recommend her home.
The area around Draguignan is beautiful and varied. The sea, which is about an hour away, is turquoise blue with small, sweet bays. In the hinterland there are beautiful, small old French villages and the Verdon Gorge is a breathtaking landscape. I felt very comfortable not only in Marine's home, but also in the area and would love to come back.
The apartment of marine and Tarek had all the necessarily equipment, it is spacious and with a balcony to enjoy the sun. And because they also lent us their car, we were able to explore the breathtaking environment: Georges du Verdon (amazing cliffs around azur waters), Tourtour and Villecroze (charming villages), Rocher de Roque Brune (trail for fit people) and accessible trails at the sea side. This truly made our stay a memorable experience. Draguignan itself and its people has several faces, which we started to love after a few days.
Communication with Marine was great, she was readily available and she gave us a lot of tips. Thank you Marine, we hope to welcome you in Amsterdam!
Marine and her partner respected our little family cocoon 100%.
The apartment was very clean when we returned. When they had questions, they were quick to contact us.
I recommend them 100%
Claudia stayed at home with her adorable dog Dexter. We were able to meet to hand over the keys and it was very good. Communication was easy and smooth, Claudia left the apartment clean and we couldn't guess that a dog had stayed here so didn't hesitate to allow our 4-legged friends to stay. I will not hesitate to welcome them again and why not see us again one day for an exchange in Switzerland. Good luck to you 5!
André and Sjoerd were very good guests. Communicating with them was easy and very pleasant. I was able to learn to appreciate them from a distance by discussing their stay. I very much hope to be able to meet them one day during a stay in Amsterdam!
Thank you both for being the way you are <3
We spent 11 nights at Marlène's and everything was perfect. The apartment is large for two people and can easily accommodate a family because everything is designed for that! It is in a very quiet area near a park and we were able to relax after long days of winter activities. There is a parking space just downstairs as well as a bus stop to get to downtown Quebec City. It was easy to find activities outside the city that didn't require long drives. Shopping areas are easy to access and close to the apartment, which makes life easier for food shopping and other things! It was very easy to communicate with Marlène who was very available throughout the stay to respond to our requests and made us feel at home during our stay. We strongly recommend talking with Marlène and her lovely family, it will be a successful exchange 😊😊😊

Marine
We are a couple of 36 years old and a baby Ruben, Tarek is an engineer and Marine is a civil servant. We have a dog called Megara with whom we like to take long walks in the forest. We love nature and animals, especially cats, and will be delighted to take care of yours. Megara is not traveling with us and you will not have to look after her, she goes to our friends when we leave.
We are open to visiting anywhere in the world, it's easier for us to schedule in advance but don't hesitate to contact us last minute if our calendar is open.
