The Area
Our villas are centred just west and north-west of Cannes.
The area is known for its beautiful landscape between the Alps and the azure-blue Mediterranean providing an exceptional place to visit. It is no wonder that this part of France has the most visitors every year except for Paris, it simply has so much to offer.
The area just behind the coast is formed by hills and valleys, plantations and pine forests. Because of its very sunny climate the agricultural production is varied and plentiful. Apart from the refreshing rosé produced in our region it may not be known for its wine but that is changing and if you are interested you can seek out many good varieties produced by young vintners.
This is also the area that produces the most flowers in France and its fruits, vegetables, honey, lavender, thyme and olive oil are the pride of the people who live in the region.
The medieval villages perched high on the hilltops with the mountains as a backdrop make for ideal quiet and cool summer holidays. There are vast forests where one can discover truffles or mushrooms and even wild boars! For those who prefer fishing, canoeing or swimming the many lakes, rivers and waterfalls should satisfy them. And of course let’s not forget that the Mediterranean Sea is only a short drive away so it is easy to visit the glorious beaches of the Cote d’Azur and glamorous hotspots such as Cannes, St. Tropez and Monaco.
The area is detailed on the map below.
