Sanary Sur Mer remains an authentic fishing port situated in the heart of Provence between Marseilles and Toulon. It manages to have all of the charms of village life alongside the benefits of a modern town. You will find all of the necessary services and businesses for your comfort in the village. San Nari is the provencal name for Saint Nazaire, a Roman martyr of the 1st Century AD to whom a place of homage was established in the Middle Ages on the site of the modern Sanary. A hamlet on the edge of the Mediterranean, overlooked by the Lord of the Manor's tower erected around 1300, Saint-Nazaire took off in the 16th Century. The village was dependant on the port of Ollioules until becoming independent in 1688, creating a proud coat of arms: a tower surrounded by two palm trees surmounted by a cross. It was the railway which transformed the small town of Saint Nazaire, dedicated to culture and fishing into a seaside town where the past still surprises people just round the corner. An illustrious witness to all of this is the square tower said to be "Roman" or in Roman-style built in the 13th Century to watch over the sea and defend the inhabitants. Today it accommodates one of the most beautiful collections tracing the heroic history of deep sea diving. Two fountains adorn the port, one dedicated to the wealth of the sea, the other to agriculture. The port of Sanary is recognised as one of the most authentic and typical of the Mediterranean coast of France. It is an ancient natural port, situated at the heart of the village, with the honour of hosting around a hundred historic boats, the oldest dating from 1895, including the well-known provencal boats – the "pointus". Sanary always had a flotilla of fishing boats and fishing knew its golden age at the beginning of the 20th Century. Centred on the ancient "Prud'homie" of the fishermen of Sanary sur Mer and under the authority of the first "prud'homme", 12 are still active. With a further 10-20 retired fishermen, they catch their fish daily and sell the produce in the port area. The "prud'homie" organises a festival every year dedicated to Saint Pierre on the last Sunday of June. The bust of the saint is taken on a procession through the village before put on a fishing boat for the benediction of the fleet and an offering of a spray of flowers to the sea. Sanary was also the refuge for the greatest names of German culture before and during part of the Second World War (1933-42) including: Thomas Mann, Heinrich Mann, Klaus Mann, Erika Mann, Lion Feuchtwanger, Arnold Zweig, Franz Hessel, René Schickele, Ludwig Marcuse, Erwin Piscator, Eric Klossowski, Anton Räderscheidt, Franz Werfel, Alfred Kantorowicz, Bertolt Brecht.

Location in France

The prosperous Var department is located in the most extreme south-easterly point in France and has an unsurpassable climate, except in early spring when the heavy showers arrive.
Toulon is the departmental capital of the Var with a population of over 160,000. It has the biggest harbour in mainland Europe, and France's Mediterranean navy fleet use the city as its base. Toulon is a historic centre in many ways, and its attractive old streets are host to many ancient buildings and hidden historic corners. The town also has a lively cultural scene, the highlight of which is the fantastic local opera company. The hills that look over the town and onto the sea have a number of great houses, villas and apartments.
The city of Toulon was damaged severely during the Second World War giving the centre a very different atmosphere to its neighbours on the coastline.
To the east of the Var you'll find the town of Hyeres, which is a great blend of both Provence and Cote d'Azur culture. There are few other places that offer exotic palm trees on a sun-soaked coast together with a medieval old town and other historical interests - imagine spending your holidays here!
The very famous St-Tropez is a stunning town architecturally and is celebrated for its glamorous lifestyle. It has a population of just 6000 in the low season, but as the temperature increases for the summer months the population explodes!
Further up the coastline and you'll come across the tourist resorts of Frejus and St-Raphael with their stretching sandy beaches and Roman remains. Not to be missed is Port-Grimaud. Built along a network of canals, the city bears a striking resemblance to the Italian city of Venice. The city is very attractive, although the top prize goes to Bargeme, which is widely acknowledged as one of the prettiest villages in the whole of France.
Both EasyJet and GB Airways fly to Toulon from Gatwick. If you'd rather avoid flying, however, you could take a Rail Europe service from London Waterloo all the way to Toulon.
Property prices in the Var remain high thanks to the popularity of the region and the proximity to the Mediterrannean coast. However, for investors, they have the advantage of a strong rental market to make a return on your investment. As expected, properties get slightly cheaper the further inland you delve.
