In the center of the Provençal height - Var, Cotignac is a village of character, in 60 km of the sea, Saint-Tropez
, between the Mediterranean Sea and Verdon.
The climate is there dry because of the absence of considerable streams.
Its class(course), its market, its numerous fountains, its open-air theater, its caves, its troglodytiques rooms, its restored calades, all these walks make of Cotignac a village typically Provençal.

One can there promenade along its narrow alleys and cool in terraces shaded by the class(course). The houses of villages are snuggled up at feet of the Cliff of Tuff the facade of which spreads out on 400 m with of gigantic stalacités and deep crevices which offer a fantastic spectacle.
