Description

The 3rd constituency of the Var is centred on Hyères to the west of Toulon.

It has been a strongly right leaning constituency for all of its recent history, including the election of the only National Front deputy in 1988. That winner Yann Piat subsequently joined the Union for French Democracy before being assassinated in 1994.
