The immediate area has several world famous destinations, as well many lesser well known attractions and is home to many arts and crafts.

Many well known artists have either visited or lived in the area and some of their works can be found in the local museums.
The southern alps are one hour and a half's drive away - perfect for skiing in the winter and walking in spectacular scenery at other times of the year. The hills between the coast and the mountains are also ideal walking country where many picturesque perched villages such as Valbonne, Mougins, Gourdon, St Paul de Vence and Tourettes sur Loup can be found.
