This charming village leaning up against the massifs of
St. CIément and Verrerie is opposite great fields of crops that change
color vvith the seasons. Here is natural countryside with no unsightly building
and on the horizon is the Montagne de la Loube.
Néoules is outside highly traveled noisy routes.
You don't go through Néoules, you come to visit; and it is worth the
trip. This is Provence : fountains, piane trees, shady café terraces,
and the old folks reading and commenting on the newspaper while sitting on the
bench outside the church.
At first glance Néoules will seem like a peaceful
village...It is, but it is also one of the most dynamic of Var. There are about
20 different organisations which work on events and activities for the village
and set up cultural exchanges.
The pride of these cultural activities is the music festival
which takes place every second half of July and engages prestigious musicians. The concerts are held in the park inside an old "bastide"
surrounded by oaks. The festival winds up on a convivial note with dinner and
music outside.
