The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region
Sightseeing is endless; the nearest places of interest are the perfumeries of Grasse, Marineland at Antibes, the Festival of Cannes, the glassmakers at Biot, the potteries of Vallauris, the picturesque villages of Valbonne and Mougins and of course the beautiful countryside all around.
Other entertainment includes the beach, the casinos & nightlife of Cannes, boat trips, cinemas, wine tasting, or just good old relaxing by the pool!
Valbonne / Plascassier area
Local shops, a boulangerie, restaurants and a supermarket can be found just 500 metres away in the lovely old village of Plascassier. A wider range of facilities and restaurants can also be found nearby in the larger village of Mouans-Sartoux.
Local markets are held in Mouans-Sartoux every Tuesday and Thursday mornings and in Valbonne on a Friday morning.
Sporting activities in the area are abundant– there is golf, tennis and horse riding and as you are in very close proximity to the mountains and hills of the Alpes Maritimes, walking and cycling are also very popular.
Beaches can be found not too far away in Cannes and Antibes, approximately 15 km.
The ski stations of Valberg, Isola 2000 and Auron are approximately 1 hour’s drive away if you fancy a couple of days winter sports!
Getting around is easy; it is not essential to have a car here, as a bus stop is approximately 400 metres away and the train station 5km.
How to get there
By Car – The roads and autoroutes in France are a pleasure, so driving can sometimes make a good alternative to flying – at least you’ll already have your car with you! From the UK you have the choice of using the ferries or the Eurotunnel for your crossing. Once in the South of France, this property can be easily accessed via the A8 autoroute.
By Air – Nice-Cote d’Azur is the nearest international airport – approximately 20 kilometres away. There are daily flights from the UK with British Airways, British Midland, Easyjet and Jet2.
By Train – Eurostar runs from London to Paris city centres and then the high speed TGV service runs from Paris to Nice.
Full directions will be sent to you once you have made a booking.
