Six-Fours-les-Plages is a seaside town in the Var, on a peninsula between Toulon to the east and Bandol to the west, within the Toulon Provence Méditerranée metropolitan area. With around 37,100 inhabitants, it stretches from the port of Le Brusc to the Cap Sicié massif, taking in the residential plain and the beaches along the coast. Its territory mixes seaside resorts, old hamlets and protected natural areas.
The town is organised around several hubs. Le Brusc, at the south-western tip, is a fishing village and a marina, extended by the presqu'île du Gaou and the landing stage for the îles des Embiez, offshore. The beaches of Bonnegrâce, at Les Lônes, and of La Coudoulière punctuate the seafront. At the centre, the town hall and administrative life settled at Reynier, in the heart of the plain, while the hill of the Vieux Six-Fours keeps its collegiate church of Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens, from the eleventh century, and the fort built at the end of the nineteenth century.
The property market bears the mark of this geography. The seafront and the coastal areas to the west, Le Brusc, Le Rayolet, La Coudoulière and Les Lônes, concentrate the highest prices, driven by the scarcity of the shoreline, the views and strong demand for second homes. The residential areas of the plain, around Reynier, Audibert and Bucarin, and the fringes of Cap Sicié remain more affordable. Demand rests on the seaside setting, the proximity of Toulon and Sanary, and a market where the gaps from one district to another are sharp.
