Saint-Laurent-du-Var (population 27,141 in 1999) is a town and commune in southeast France, in the département of Alpes-Maritimes and the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, on the French Riviera. It is the second-largest suburb of the city of Nice, and lies adjacent to it on the west side on the other side of the river Var.
The town has a regulation sized football stadium with field turf. It also has many public (and some private) petanque courts. On the beach, facilities for the physically challenged are provided ("Handiplage"). St. Laurent is home to the CAP 3000, the largest shopping mall of the Côte d'Azur. The airport of Nice is directly south of the town.
