The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Var region

Claviers is in a region of low rainfall with a warm sunny climate. The area is famous for both beach holidays and skiing. Both about an hour away by car, as is the airport and the major towns of the Cote d'azur, Cannes, Antibes, Grasse etc., all with beaches, chic shopping and thousands of restaurants including some of the best tables in the world. Monaco can be reached by the Corniche road, or a short helicopter trip from Nice.

The Claviers area

Claviers is in th 'Arriere Pays' Softly rolling wooded hilsides, cooler than the coast in summer. The area is dotted with medieval hill villages each with it's own flavour and vibrant culture. The villages take turns to hold festivals in the summer, and every weekend there is one somewhere. These festivals contain a mixture of fairgound attractions and dancing to live music, and everyone stays up until the early hours, sometimes for three or four days at a time. There is a thriving community of local artists and exhibitions are held in all the villages. The village 'Place, is a place to meet the locals, and enjoy an aperitif in the shade of the plane trees or find the boule pitch and join in the local game. The coast is an hour by car, and there is a variety of golf courses close by. Europes biggest gliding centre is about twenty minutes away, and for breathtaking views the Gorge du Verdon, forty minutes up into the hills, cannot be beaten.
