Roquebrune sur Argens suits pool holidays in the Var, with a summer boat from Les Issambres to Saint-Tropez. Most homes have a private pool and air conditioning. The commune is large and spread out, and nearly every outing needs a car.
Roquebrune-sur-Argens is a commune of around 15,000 people in the Var, named for the red colour of the Maures massif, with the Argens river running at the foot of its rock. The N7 separates the village from La Bouverie to the north, and Les Issambres is on the seafront. The A8 motorway serves the commune. Most homes here have a private pool, air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and typically sleep around six. They are spread over several kilometres rather than gathered in one place. The Rocher de Roquebrune is a free hiking area with a view across the Argens plain to Fréjus. Lac de l'Arena is a water sports park. Evenings are village quiet.

Summer is the main season, and the Les Issambres shuttle boat to Saint-Tropez helps you avoid the seafront traffic jams. The Rocher de Roquebrune is on foot only in summer. Markets run through the week: Friday in the village, Saturday at La Bouverie and Monday at Les Issambres. Roc Azur, a major mountain bike race, takes place in early October.
