The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region
The French Riviera benefits from a Mediterranean-type climate, characterised by exceptional sunshine almost 300 days a year and mild temperatures for most of the year.
It rains heavily but infrequently mostly in March/April and October/November. In winter, freezing temperatures are rare, but sweaters are advised.
Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA) is one of the 26 regions of France. It is made up of: The former French province of Provence The former papal territory of Avignon, known as Comtat Venaissin The former Sardinian-Piedmontese county of Nice, whose coastline is known in English as the French Riviera, and in French as the Côte d'Azur The southeastern part of the former French province of Dauphiné, in the French Alps.
It encompasses six departments in south-eastern France, bounded to the east by the Italian border, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea to the north by Rhône-Alpes, and to the west by Languedoc-Roussillon, with the Rhône river marking its westernmost border.
The region logo displays the coat of arms created in the 1990s and which combines the coats of arms of the old provinces making up Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
Notable cities and places in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur include: Aix-en-Provence, Antibes, Apt, Arles, Avignon, Les Baux de Provence, Cannes, Cassis, Cavaillon, Digne-les-Bains, Frejus, Grasse, Juan-les-Pins, Marseille, Menton, Nice, Orange, Saint-Raphaël, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Saint-Tropez, Tende, Toulon, Vence.

Saint Cezaire-sur-Siagne area
St Cezaire- su Siagne is a beautiful medieval village hanging onto vertical cliffs overlooking the Siagne. The village sits on a rocky spur in an idyllic landscape of wooded hills, with views of the Maures and Estérel.
It's a site that has attracted people since Neolithic times, inhabited from the 9th century by the monks of Lérins, who cultivated the land and educated the population, a stronghold during the Middle Ages of the Esclapon family, followed by the Villeneuve and Grasse families. For many centuries Saint Cézaire sur Siagne's local economy flourished, with its many mills producing wheat, olive oil, and even paper in the 19th century.
If you like old buildings, you're bound to enjoy a visit to the medieval village: remnants of town walls dating back to the 14th century, a beautiful church built from pink stone, lintel doors and wash-houses, tiled roofs and covered passageways, shady little squares and fountains, not forgetting the superb Fontaine aux mulets … Carry on walking right to the end of the village, to admire an authentic Romanesque chapel, with its twinkling grey stone that has withstood the passage of Time so well. And throughout you are accompanied by this dazzling view of an unforgettable panorama, that you can explore from the orientation table … a bowl of intoxicating fresh air that blows away all the stress of modern urban life!
Beneath the municipality of Saint Cézaire lie a large number of caves and sinkholes. The Saint-Cézaire caves have been open to visitors since the beginning of the 20th century, and in 1920 a film with Charles Vanel was even shot there.
For thousands of years, water has eroded, polished, carved and eaten away at the limestone rock, giving rise to some fantastic concretions and formations that will seem even more spectactular if you attend one of the "son et lumière" shows that are given during the summer!
Places to visit : Roman bridge. Medieval hump-back bridge. Set of nine 14th century wells. 14th century remains of an ancient fortified settlement. Mill, wash-houses, porches, lintels... Caves with "son et lumière" show. Prehistoric sites. Remains dating back to the Neolithic period (a series of megaliths, made up of ten or so standing stones, two of which have been listed as historical monuments, as well as five hill forts) Sarcophagus from the Gallo-Roman era (visible at the entrance to the Romanesque Chapel at the cemetery). Church (18th century). Romanesque chapels of N.D. de Sardaigne from the 12th century, Saint Saturnin and Saint Ferréol in the Siagne valley
There is a splendid market every Saturday.
For active visitors...there are numerous walks and bike rides...a local tennis club.....horse back riding.....jeu de boules....
St Cezaire is also ideal for exploring the south of France...Cannes , Nice, are within about 30 min. Closer by you have the perfume capital of the world...Grasse ...and some other lovely villages such as Cabris, Speracedes, and St Vallier.
