[EN] Var: Things to do in Roquebrune sur Argens (Provence Côte d’Azur)
Last update: 26th August 2021
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
So logically I will detail tips and tricks for all 3 parts of Roquebrune sur Argens. Enjoy!
Food shops
Fresh and local fruits and vegetables from producers: la Grande 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. I like the spirit: this shop is a partnership between producers. The Ciamous family is an old family from Roquebrune.

💡 Stop on the way back from the Saint Aygulf (the sea)
⚠ Check the opening times on the net, it varies from season to season
Wine and delicatessen from Roquebrune and the rest of Provence: Maison du Terroir

Restaurants
There are many restaurants and snacks to choose from in Roquebrune sur Argens.
I’ve listed places offering French cuisine. Some of them do use local products. Others offer cuisine from other countries (and I’m not talking about kebab, pizza, fish and chips…!).
Home-style French cuisine with home delivery: Evelyne.com à la maison
The selection changes everyday. They deliver to the door (Roquebrune Village, la Bouverie and Le Puget), it is very handy. There is a terrace on a pedestrian place.

Stylish restaurant with seasonal menu: Le Jardin de l’Orangeraie
It is all true: there is a garden, you eat on the terrace, next to the orange trees. If you are looking for stylish restaurant, with dishes you’ve never seen before, that’s the place to be! If you’re with kids or you’d prefer fish and chips, you might want to go elsewhere!
