The Giens peninsula

The Giens Peninsula, this blade of a "sundial" planted in the Var Mediterranean, is a world apart whose lovers have never finished taking inventory. Inventory of the landscapes, strongly shaped by an exceptional geological history; inventory of the botanical and ornithological species that have made this place a precious ecological niche; finally inventory of the human types and trades – fishing, agriculture, salt harvesting – that have shaped its history.

This small book, prepared by the Association for the Protection of Nature in the Giens Peninsula, is both a contribution to the knowledge of this unique site and a gesture of love for a place of grace and beauty.
