Var: Things to do in Roquebrune sur Argens (Provence French Riviera)

Last update: 08th August 2026

Welcome to Roquebrune on Argens! Here is a list of places in the center of the village, in the area. Restaurants, bars, places to visit near Roquebrune.

My Dads family Abbe has been in the village at least from the 16th Century (there is no written record before that, so no idea!). My Mums family moved there in 20th Century. But after 10 years in the UK and 20+ years in Occitanie (Montpellier), my lifestyle is mixed between tourism and remote work.

This list is a start. Your feedback is important. Places listed are open all year round (and not only for the touristy season).

Please also check out this article for places to go for a day trip leading from Roquebrune sur Argens.

Roquebrune is made of 3 villages:

La Bouverie: a residential suburb in the middle of the forest
Les Issambres: by the sea, overlooking the Saint Tropez and Fréjus / Saint Raphaël bays
Roquebrune village: the old village

The house is on the left next to the Church « Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul ».

So logically I will detail tips and tricks for all 3 parts of Roquebrune on Argens. Enjoy!

Local meat, fruit, vegetables, wine, honey: The Great Bastide

5-minute drive from Roquebrune. My all time favorite is la Grande Bastide. Fruits, vegetables, meat, wine… it comes from producers from Roquebrune or the are, or the rest of Provence.

Cooking 3 local dips

French love the apéritif (that’s the drink before dinner) shortened « apéro ». Then you serve something to eat (tapas style). In Provence, there are local specialities: tapenade (olive paste), anchoïade (anchovy paste) and souçon (almond paste).

The « Maison de patrimoine » (see above) offer weekly classes during Summer to learn how to make those receipes. Even if you French is poor or inexistant, it should be a lot of fun!
