Provence Weekend in Carcès: Village, Caramy Falls & Thoronet Abbey
Planning a weekend in Carcès in the Var? This charming Provence Verte village blends history, nature, and local life. Walk the medieval streets to see murals, fountains, and the Église Sainte‑Marguerite, then climb to the Château de Carcès ruins for sweeping views. Hike the shaded trail to the Cascades de Caramy or extend your walk to the tranquil Lac de Carcès or Lac de Sainte-Suzanne, a favorite fishing spot. Don’t miss the lively Saturday market, dinner at a local restaurant, or a visit to the Abbaye du Thoronet, one of Provence’s famous Cistercian abbeys. Carcès is an authentic destination for a relaxing, culture‑rich escape.
