Is it still a good choice to move to the Var department? It represents the best of all worlds: a juxtaposition of the sea, mountains, rivers and countryside of Provence, a fascinating area of 3711 miles² (5973 km²) in the south of France. In addition to the magnificent landscapes that abound in its lands, it is home to many outdoor activities, aerial water adventures and much more. And without a doubt, a must-do activity is bungee jumping.

Where to bungee jump in the Var?

Department 83 is the must-see destination in France and even in Europe for bungee jumping. Why? The answer is simple: this is where the Pont de l'Artuby is located. Also called Chaulière bridge, it is the highest bridge in Europe with a height of 182 meters. Therefore, you will be able to perform the highest bungee jump in France, but also in the whole continent.

Located in the city of Trigance on the Artuby River, you will jump in the Haut-Var to experience extreme feelings and unparalleled adrenaline rushes. This is your best option for bungee jumping if you are in Marseille (it takes about two hours by car), Toulon or even from Draguignan.

If you want to do this activity in the PACA region, the Artuby bridge is undoubtedly the best place to live this experience.

What do you see during a jump in the Var?

Jumping from the Artuby bridge, you will fly over and contemplate a real jewel of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur: The Verdon Gorge. It is a world-renowned natural region that offers you all that nature has to offer.

During your jump, you will discover a sublime green environment that will embellish and soften your adventure. After your freefall, during the ascent, you will even have the opportunity to get to know this place more closely. A canyon, a turquoise river and impressive massifs will surround you. Maybe this is what people who decide to jump here are looking for?
