This commune is made up of two villages: La Mure, at the confluence of the Issole and Verdon rivers, once famous for its cloth factories, and Argens, perched at an altitude of 1,400 m, where lavender and other aromatic plants are grown.
Situated at the confluence of the Issole and Verdon rivers, at the foot of the Maurel mountain, the present-day village dates back to the 18th century.
Its local heritage is remarkably well-preserved, with washhouses, fountains, bread ovens and calades in the narrow streets. Lavender is still grown and distilled in the hamlet of Argens.
