The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region
The apartment is 100 metres from the seafront and enjoys a temperate Mediterranean climate all year round. During the Summer, the average sea temperature is 24° C , the sea is blue and clear. Monaco Grand Prix usually takes place at the end of May. Very mild winter at the coast, although within one and a half hour's drive you are in the Alps and the ski stations start at 1300 m altitude. The best stations are a little further, still less than 2 hours drive and starting at around 1800 metres (Val d'Isère, Auron, Isola 2000, Valberg). The region was a part of Italy until the early 1800's, so many families still have italian roots and culture.
