Our village, our school

1. Welcome!
We come from the South of France from a Region called PACA in the department of The
Var between two large towns Marseilles the second largest town in France and Toulon
the big military harbour.

2. From the Old Beausset
Seen from the hill le Beausset which means village at the top of the hill appears like a
delightful little provençal village among the olive trees, the cypresses and the vineyards.
The population is about 9,300 inhabitants.

Here are some views of the center of the village with the townhall where you can read
