    This city of approximately 40,000 inhabitants is the fifth largest city in the Var department in terms of its demography.

    You will find several dragon statues in the city center of Draguignan.



    According to legend, the place was born from the fight against a dragon. This clearly appears on the medieval weapons of the city, as well as on the statuary art of some holy places.



    The interpretation is in accordance with the legend of the bishop of Antibes, the pious Hermentaire who would have fought victoriously around the year 400 a winged dragon. The struggle between a saint and a dragon, which represents the unconverted pagan or more broadly the forces of evil, is a classic allegory in the history of Christendom.



    Draguignan is also the birthplace of Claude Gay, great explorer, botanist and friend of Chile. A place in Draguignan bears his name and his face is painted on the facade of a building overlooking this same place. (The work is made up of several hundred animals forming the face of the naturalist).

      Under the Prefecture of the Var, many sites to visit, a very beautiful old center. Inquire at the Tourist Office.
