The rental offer is important in the Var, but if it is easy to find a house, an apartment, a camp-site or a hotel in full or half-board, from September to June, it is preferable to hold in advance for July and August. That is even truer for a hiring of holidays in Porquerolles, Port-Cros ot the Ile du Levant where the capacities of reception are very limited, particularly the island of Port Cros which has only one establishment, the hotel Le Manoir.
