The village:

Situated in the heart of Provence, between Aix and Saint-Tropez, the village of Cotignac stands at the foot of a majestic great rock 80 metres high surrounded with a wonderful natural background.

Between sweet-smelling hills and green plateaus, the nature is very productive in Cotignac… vast vineyards, restanques of hundred-year-old olive trees and many wild flowers are cherished by the sun.

 

In the shadow of great plane trees, terraces of café and restaurants are an invitation to enjoy, admire and breathe how life is pleasant in Cotignac. Aperitifs or gastronomy, relaxation and pleasures are at the appointment. During your walk, you will meet a lot of green areas, some nice fountains (there are 18 to discover)… the lovely streets carefully renovated will show you the way to the patrimony wealth of Cotignac. You will stroll with pleasure in the narrow streets of the village : the old doors and old-style nicely restored stone houses match subtly and make the village magnificent.
