Gassin is a town and commune of the Var département, in southeastern France. It is located right next to the famous Saint-Tropez. Perched high up on a rock, it is less than 4km. from the sea. Many Tropezian tourists attracted by a more affordable life prefer to stay in Gassin and enjoy the same kind of "Cote d'Azur" life.

Gassin (Pop. : 2,752 Surface : 2,474 ha) 2 kilometers from route D559 which links Hyères (41km,) and Sainte-Maxime (12km.).
