A quieter inland visit through the Massif des Maures

Collobrières is a very different kind of outing from Saint-Tropez or Cannes. It is quieter, greener, and more traditional, set in the Massif des Maures. It is a good choice when you want to get away from the coast and see a calmer side of Provence.

The village is known for its chestnut heritage, shaded streets, and slower pace. It pairs well with a visit to the Monastère Notre-Dame de Clémence, also known as the Chartreuse de la Verne, a historic monastery surrounded by forested hills.

We recommend this trip for guests who enjoy heritage, nature, scenic roads, and peaceful places rather than busy seaside towns. It is a simple but rewarding change of atmosphere.

Estimated driving distance from Grimaud Village: around 25 to 35 minutes to Collobrières, with additional time to continue to the monastery.
