Visit Saint-Martin-du-Var with the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau
Located at the confluence of the valleys Var, Estéron, Vésubie and Tinée, Saint-Martin-du-Var became a separate commune quite recently, built on land obtained by damming up the east bank of the Var River, starting in the mid-19th century. Today, it is a fast-growing commune. The walks on the heights of the village, offer magnificent views of the confluence of the Var and the Estéron.
