Access
- During the Chestnut Festival, on the last 3 Sundays in October, it is impossible to go through the village of Collobrières. Access to the Chartreuse de la Verne is only possible via the D39 (route de Gonfaron) or the D14 from Grimaud.
IMPORTANT: During the summer period - from 21 June to 20 September - the RD214 road leading to the monastery is subject to the rules governing access to the Var's forestry massifs in order to comply with the fire risk prevention plan.
Before any visit, it is essential to obtain information by phoning the Collobrières tourist office on 04 94 48 08 00 or by consulting the Var prefecture website http://www.var.gouv.fr/ or in the daily press (Var Matin)
The monastery is located in the forest known as the "Corniche des Maures"; the access road is forbidden in the event of a "very severe" (red) or "exceptional" (black) risk
The car park is 800 m from the monastery.
