Saint Zacharie

Pop. : 4,205 Surface : 2,702 ha

Var Department

On route N560 which links St. Maximin (17km.) to Aubagne (20km,) and Marseilles (35km).

Situated at the foot of Ste. Baume massif, at equal distance to Marseilles, Aix en Provence and Brignoles (35km), St. Zacharie is a pleasant village sprinkled with fountains.

In the summer you will appreciate the cooling sources of Huveaune and Nayes which are 1,5km. from the village in the countryside.

In the past, this village was reputed for its ceramics. Several ancient ovens are still standing as witness to those times (until a museum is built!).

The old church (11th to 17th c.) has been remodeled throughout its different periods, from Romanesque to semi-Gothic, and is classified as an historical monument.
