Pierrefeu du Var Arboretum

The André Luglia area includes an arboretum with over 300 species of trees, a picnic area, a botanical trail, lakes and a sports trail.
Immerse yourself in the heart of Mediterranean biodiversity!
Located on the beautiful road linking Pierrefeu to Collobrières, in the hollow of a valley leading to the wild heart of the Massif des Maures, the arboretum invites you to take a break from nature over an area of more than 12,000 m². Take a sensory journey through more than 300 species of trees and shrubs: ornamental, forest, fruit and an exceptional collection of conifers.

Here, nature expresses itself freely, without human intervention. Discover an open-air laboratory, where species adapt naturally to an acid soil and a Mediterranean climate, offering a unique show of resilience and wild beauty.

AN IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE
Take the botanical trail, marked out with QR codes, to unlock the secrets of the emblematic plants of the Mediterranean marquis. Observe the teeming life that enlivens the area: wrens, finches, robins, green woodpeckers and warblers, as well as a myriad of insects, including elegant dragonflies. If you're lucky, you may even come across Hermann's tortoise, a protected species and a symbol of the richness of the Massif des Maures.

A PRESERVED FRAMEWORK FOR RESOURCE
Enjoy a bucolic break in the shaded picnic area, under the protection of majestic Aleppo pines and cork oaks, with a drinking water point available. For sports enthusiasts, an 800-metre fitness trail, equipped with a variety of apparatus, invites you to combine relaxation and physical activity.
ACCESSIBILITY AND DISCOVERY
Two water reservoirs, accessible via a pontoon adapted for people with reduced mobility, complete this exceptional site. They offer a space dedicated to fishing and contemplation, to the rhythm of the changing reflections of the Mediterranean light.

Enjoy a getaway where nature, knowledge and well-being meet, as you drive towards the Massif des Maures.
