Carqueiranne

Carqueiranne is a commune in the Var department, administrative region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Southeastern France.

It is known now as a tourist seaside resort with good windsurfing nearby, at Almanarre Beach.

The town has a literary claim to fame as well. In early August 1944, an unidentifiable body wearing French military colours was found near here, which was long believed to be that of famous novelist Antoine de Saint Exupéry, author of The Little Prince.
