Restaurant Plan de la Tour

Nomadia, homemade cooking on the route du Plan de la Tour, at the northern exit of Sainte-Maxime, with a 110-seat terrace and free parking

A restaurant ideally placed on the route du Plan de la Tour

Nomadia is at 252 route du Plan de la Tour, at the northern exit of Sainte-Maxime, right on the road connecting the seafront to the village of Plan-de-la-Tour and the Maures hinterland. It isn't a restaurant in the centre of Plan-de-la-Tour village: it's the homemade-cooking address you meet first when coming down the hill towards Sainte-Maxime, or the last one before heading back up to the vineyards and cork oaks of the high country.

This location has a real practical upside. For residents of Plan-de-la-Tour and the surrounding hamlets, Nomadia means no driving down to park in congested central Sainte-Maxime: a large free car park waits in front of the restaurant, no meters, no zoning. For holidaymakers staying in the farmhouses and villas nearby, it's a table reachable in a few minutes and open all year round.

🅿️

Free on-site parking

Around twenty free spots in front of the restaurant, no meters, no zoning. No need to drive back down hunting for a spot in central Sainte-Maxime.

🌳

110-seat shaded terrace

A terrace lined with plane trees, naturally shaded, where tables aren't packed. Conversations are easy and kids have room to move.

🤫

Quiet at the northern edge of town

A handy address between Sainte-Maxime and the Var hinterland

Our guests are a mix of Sainte-Maxime locals, residents of Plan de la Tour and the Maures hamlets, and passing holidaymakers. Many choose Nomadia precisely because it escapes the seafront bustle: no scooters streaming past, no music from neighbouring bars, just a quiet area and a car park that waits for you. The Var line N°01 bus serves a nearby stop for those who prefer to leave the car behind.

Restaurant "Plan de la Tour": on the road or in the village?

When you look for a "Plan de la Tour restaurant", two different places hide behind the same name. There is the village of Plan-de-la-Tour, tucked into the Maures hinterland among vineyards and cork oaks; and there is the route du Plan de la Tour, the road linking that village to the Sainte-Maxime seafront. Nomadia sits on that road, at 252 route du Plan de la Tour, at the northern exit of Sainte-Maxime, not in the village centre.

That nuance matters depending on where you start from. If you are staying in a farmhouse or villa around Plan de la Tour, Nomadia is the closest homemade-cooking address on the way down to town, with no need to face the traffic and parking of the centre. If you are already in Sainte-Maxime, it is a chance to eat quietly a few minutes from the port, with free parking waiting for you. Either way, the shaded 110-seat terrace and the fully homemade menu stay the same, all year round.
