La Garde
France, officially the French Republic, is a country whose metropolitan territory is located in Western Europe and comprises various overseas islands and territories which are located in other regions. Metropolitan France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. At 674,843 square kilometres, France is the world's 40th-largest country after Myanmar. France is a member of The European Union and Paris is the capital of this nation. The sole official language of France is French. Since prehistoric times, France has been a crossroads of trade, migrations, and invasions.
La Garde is a commune in the department of Var and the Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur region of France. It is located in the metropolitan Communaute d'agglomeration Toulon Provence Mediterranee and is east of the city of Toulon. In the 1999 census, La Garde had a population of 25,329 people.
Var is a department of southeastern France. Var was formed in 1790 of a part of lower Provence, but in 1860 it was reduced by the transfer of the district of Grasse to the newly formed department of the Alpes-Maritimes, which is why the Var River does not now flow in the department to which it gives its name.
La Garde is also said to be as one of the best geographical environment and can trace its origins back to prehistoric times. This is evident from the archaeological sites found throughout the La Garde town. Today, one can also learn about its history, from its earliest times and pursue enthusiasm in its natural beauty and populace.
