Var Var is a dpartement of southern France. History Var was formed in 1790 of a part of Lower Provence, but in 1860 it was reduced by the transfer of the district of Grasse to the newly formed dpartement of the Alpes-Maritimes, which is why the Var River does not now flow in the dpartement to which it gives its name. Geography Var is bounded on the north by the dpartement of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence (the Verdon river forming the boundary), on the east by that of the Alpes-Maritimes, on the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and on the west by the dpartement of the Bouches-du-Rhne. Its area is 5,973 km², its greatest length is about 62 miles, and its greatest breadth about 56 miles. Economy Demographics Culture Miscellaneous topics External links
