La Caf du Var installed in its new headquarters
Inaugurated with the préfet du Var and local officials, this new venue in the heart of Toulon aims to improve the quality of service of the Caf.
This is what guided it in this relocation project from the very beginning. Initiated in 2020, this project became reality with the move in March 2025 of 480 out of 550 employees department-wide, grouped within a single headquarters.
The building's architecture is up to the challenges and reflects the desire of the Caf to commit to an eco-responsible approach, integrating new working practices for employees to ensure its public service mission under the best conditions.

“This choice is not insignificant, as it is part of the development policy of the Ville and the Métropole, which wished to develop projects dedicated to service activities, training, and services along the station axis. Thus, many public and private institutions have settled on the sites of Chalucet, Montety, Zénith and Loubière. This rapidly developing neighborhood features a 16,000m2 wooded park that was created in September 2022,” points out the Caf.
