Photo - Pierrefeu-du-Var: Nestled among vineyards and olive groves in southern France, Pierrefeu-du-Var is a charming Provençal village in the Var department. Known for its picturesque old town and nearby wine estates, it offers a tranquil escape from the Riviera crowds. Fascinating fact: The village was once home to a 12th-century Knights Templar commandery, making it a quiet witness to centuries of religious and military history.
