Nans-les-Pins is a commune in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France. It lies in the western part of the department, north of the Sainte-Baume ridge. The town sits about 1km north and 100m downhill from its former location, now known as Vieux Nans ("Old Nans"). Old Nans was centered on a castle, first built in the 8th Century AD, and was abandoned for the new site in the 15th Century. It is possible to explore the remains of the old town and castle on foot. Nans-les-Pins sits on the pilgrimage route to Sainte-Baume, and grew beyond a small village in the 19th Century. It is the starting point for a marked hiking route to the source of the Huveaune river. There is an 18-hole golf course and a Marvilla Parks campsite in the town.
