Quick answers

Questions people ask

What is the best place to live in Var?

Nans-les-Pins ranks first of 73 graded towns of 2,500 or more: safety (A+) and jobs & income (B+) are its strongest grades; cost of living (D) is its lowest. Pierrefeu-du-Var and Le Revest-les-Eaux follow.

How are these towns ranked?

By the overall grade, which blends six graded subjects (cost of living, safety, schools, health, jobs and income, walkability) from public data, each comparing a town with every French town of 1,000 or more. The rank is among the towns of 2,500 or more in Var, where five or more have an overall grade.

Why isn’t my town on this list?

The list covers places of 2,500 or more with an overall grade. Smaller places, and towns missing figures the overall grade needs, show their grades on their own pages; every commune is listed on the Var page.
