We've added a new Var village to Beyond: Vins-sur-Caramy is located in the central Var, northeast of Brignoles and west of the Thoronet Abbey. Vins-sur-Caramy village has a Renaissance style chateau and a very lovely Medieval stone bridge across the adjacent river.
OK, I'll visit Brignoles again soon. I've other emails contesting my harsh review of the place and suggesting improvements. I'm guessing also that Brignoles is being spruced up for their hosting of the Tour de France 2009 stage.

Good off-the-beaten-path addition for Beyond.
Will this give you a chance to update the entry on Beyond for nearby Brignoles?
You mention Brignoles as being neither attractive nor clean. My last visit dates from a week ago, and the Place Caramy is sparkling clean with shiny pavements, pastel shutters, a fountain that spouts clean water. The old town is fascinating but deserted.
