Tourism, place to visit::
The distance to the closest beach is about 1,5 km. Almost half the inhabitants of the domain of Vaugrenier have their permanent home here which makes it a place for off-season vacations as well.
The Alpes du Sud Mountains are within 1,5 hours' drive, the best known resorts are Valberg, Isola , Gréolières.
You can also find hills nearby in the Grasse area e.g. Saint-Vallier where lots of mountain itineraries start.
The summer traffic:
Vaugrenier is a quiet area away from the heavy traffic and the busy roads.
This is an ideal location as one cannot move out of Antibes, Nice or Cannes in the summer months because of the heavy traffic in the large towns. From Vaugrenier you can drive where you want.
In order to go to Italy e.g. San Remo or to the Var (e.g. Ste Maxime or St Raphaël where the main golf courses and attactions of the Var are) you can reach the motorway through the back roads. Less than 10' for Nice and Italy, about the same or a couple of minutes more for Mougins, Mandelieu,Théoule, St.Raphaël etc.
Golf:
Golf courses in the area: Golf de Biot, Golf Opio Valbonne,
Golf de St. Donat, Golf de Cannes-Mougins, Golf de Cannes-Mandelieu, Golf practice and 9 holes of Villeneuve-Loubet, Royal Mougins etc. About 15 golf courses within 10 to 30 minutes by car. These golf courses can be reached easily by taking the départementales roads leaving via Biot in stead of having to cross the heavy traffic when you leave Antibes, Cannes or Nice. You can take the motorway which is about 10' drive from Vaugrenier Présidences if you like to go to St Raphaël (Valescure) or St Andréol which are in the VAR.
