Cogolin

ONE TOWN, TWO DISTINCT SIDES.

Explore Cogolin through its uphill lanes, heritage and craftsmanship. Start in the old village. The coastal Marines de Cogolin are a separate stop, away from the historic centre.

“COGOLIN DESERVES MORE THAN A QUICK STOP.”

FIND YOUR RHYTHM

OLD TOWN. CRAFTS. MARINAS.

01

Exploring old Cogolin on foot

Tour de l’Horloge marks a former entrance to the medieval village. Extend your stroll towards the fountains on Place Tôti and Place Victor Hugo. A heritage guide is available from the tourist office; ask about upcoming storytelling walks and registration on +33 4 94 55 01 10.

02

Cogolin’s Provençal market

The market is listed on Wednesday mornings at Place Victor-Hugo and Saturday mornings at Place de la République. Start at the stalls, then explore the old village. Check official information before travelling if the market is your main reason for coming.

03

Carpets, pipes and reeds: choose your craft

Cogolin’s crafts use distinctive materials: briar for Courrieu pipes, cane for Rigotti reeds, and weaving at the carpet manufacture. Choose the craft that interests you, then contact the business: an active production workshop does not necessarily offer walk-in visits.

BEYOND THE FIRST LOOK

Our suggestion for a short visit

Combine the old centre with just one more stop: the market on the right day or a confirmed craft visit. Leave the Marines for another time if you prefer an unhurried programme. End with a break near your starting point rather than automatically adding another town.

THE USEFUL DISTINCTION

THE MARINAS ARE NOT THE OLD CENTRE.
