La Siagne (house)
Home descriptionEverything on your doorstep is an inadequate description for this large village house. You can fetch the croissants whilst the kettle is boiling and then breakfast on the upper terrace overlooking the gorge and forest and in the distance, the Bay of St. Tropez. The lower terrace is part shaded and adjoins a small garden containing orange trees and a lawn, perfect for private sunbathing and BBQs.
To see more photos please visit http://www.holidaylettings.co.uk/14581 The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes regionOnly six or seven hours by air from your front door in England but a million miles away from what you have left behind, allowing you to experience the background hum of French life providing a sense of wellbeing and maybe a little smugness at having discovered such a great location. Hot summers and warm daytime winter temperatures are partly why this area of France remains such a popular destination. But whether you visit for the climate, the relaxed way of living, the food and wine, the historic hill villages, the art galleries and museums, the chic St. Tropez and Cannes or just that the budget airlines can fly you here quickly and cheaply, you will not be disappointed. A few words here are insufficient to capture everything there is to see and do and it is more interesting to explore for oneself, you will not be disappointed. Saint Cezaire-sur-Siagne areaIf you are reading this it is probably because you love France in common with the owners of this house and other visitors for the past two years. We also love La Siagne which is the name of our house, and the fantastic little village of St. Cezaire sur Siagne which is on the Route Napoleon and about 35 - 40 minutes inland from Cannes although the difference between the coastal towns and the village is incomparable. This ancient village is situated on a rock 300 meters above the river Siagne winding between steep cliffs and old terraced olive groves over which the back of the house looks. A 12th century chapel a short walk from the house is said to have been a storage place for the harvest for Caeser during his reign. The Grottes de St. Cezaire are a network of caves which were discovered at the beginning of the 20th century and are the best known in the region. Numerous activities, fetes, festivals, markets and other celebrations take place in the village belying its comparatively small population. There is a tennis club, horse riding and of course the mandatory boules pitches found everywhere in France.Two bars and three restaurants, a pharmacy, two butchers, three bakers, a post office, newsagents, gift shop, antique shop, one small supermarket/shop which seems to stock everything, a bank and a tourist office are all within two to three minutes walk of our front door. Italy is a two hour drive, Monaco ninety minutes, St Tropez one hour and skiing at Greolieres forty five minutes. Hikers or for the less fit, walkers can enjoy the many trails which pass through the village and beyond although a gentle stroll round the village is also very pleasurable. The village tourist office www.saintcezairesursiagne.com, email stcezaire@free.fr - telephone 0033 4 93 60 84 30 has english speaking staff who are extremely helpful and they have even arranged taxis to and from the airport in the past, their web site is worth a look for further information about the village and region. Lac de Saint Cassien which is 20 minutes from the village is noted for its Carp and Pike fishing which is an all year round season. How to get thereNice airport to St Cezaire by car takes 50 minutes along good roads which are part motorway (toll 2euros 70cents).

BMI flies from Heathrow , BMibaby from Birmingham, Jet2 from Leeds-Bradford and Manchester, Flybe from Manchester, Exeter, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Belfast, Birmingham, Southampton, Leeds-Bradford and Norwich.
