Visite commentée de Seillans labellisé "l'Un des Plus Beaux Villages de France"

Your journey through the winding "Calades":
The Vision of the Vicomtesse de Savigny de Moncorps: Prepare to discover a truly remarkable figure! It was the Vicomtesse herself who pioneered the perfume industry in the Var. By establishing her own factory right here in Seillans, she transformed the hillsides into fields of flowers and set the village buzzing with the rhythm of distillation. A fascinating industrial and human saga that changed the region forever.

The Medieval Labyrinth: Together, we’ll venture into a maze of cobbled streets where every corner hides a treasure. From the formidable Sarrasine Gate to the Feudal Castle, you’ll walk in the footsteps of knights... and master perfumers. It’s the perfect setting to switch off and let the magic happen.

In the Footsteps of Geniuses: Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning. Did you know the master of Surrealism was spellbound by Seillans? At the Maison Waldberg, we’ll explore his fascinating world through his lithographs, alongside the works of Stan Appenzeller. A touch of bohemian poetry that makes this village truly unique.

The 12th-Century Church: We’ll take a brief detour to this architectural gem for a moment of cool serenity before continuing our exploration.

Why you’ll love it:
Because Seillans is an irresistible blend of aristocratic destiny, Provençal fragrances, and modern art. We’ll chat in the shade of ancient fountains, discover how one woman made the Var bloom, and soak up the very light that has inspired generations of creators.
