Boar Problem in the Var - In the Var region, wild boars are increasingly problematic, especially near vacation spots like the 4-star La Pierre Verte in Fréjus, where families encounter them frequently. Despite warnings, wild boar have damaged property, tents, and even accessed food, forcing vacationers to take extra precautions. The Var authorities confirm that wild boar numbers are rising, with over 15,500 hunted in the region. Measures like reinforced fencing are recommended, and feeding wild boar is illegal, with penalties in place for offenders.
