ldeally located in the countryside between the mediterranean seashore and the first Southern Alps mountains, our place can be enjoyed as a restful place to spend time with your family and relax but also a starting point to different places to visit and activities.

It is located 30 km from Nice International airport with direct flights to main cities and many connections a day to Paris (you can easily jump to Paris for a day or 2 during your stay)
From our place you can :
- visit famous French Riviera cities on the seashore : Cannes, Antibes, Nice, Monaco. All these places will offer museum and cultural activities.
- visit smaller typical provencal villages : St-Paul de Vence, Tourrettes sur Loup, Eze, ...
- enjoy the seashore : Cannes islands, Antibes Cape,...
- hike in the mountain : from home, 1000+ meters mountains waiting for you to climb and enjoy the view to the sea.
This is availiable in a 30 km radius from home.
Our car could be available (depending on your driving ability in Europe) helping you to discover these places. For those who would like to explore further, you could drive to :
- Mercantour National park, 2 hours from home, ideal for hiking with some 3000 m heigth summits
- Var department : St-Tropez (2 hours) , and other recommended seashores and islands
All of our neighbours are quiet people and most of them are friends.
