Correns is a commune in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.
Its name in the Provençal language is Courrens.
It is at the entry of two gorges: Vallon Sourn and the Bagarède. The village is on the banks of the Argens river. Correns bills itself as "le Premier Village Bio de France". 'Bio’ is what the French say when they mean ‘organic’. Its main produce is wine.
