Family suggestions:
Mandelieu is a charming town, which will meet all a family's practical needs. There is a large Casino supermarket, with a big children's department, as well as a cafeteria with a kids dining area, and there is a McDonalds with an indoor play area. There are also several outdoor play parks; the nearest being only a 5 minute drive. We are also very close to a fun Mini-Golf, public tennis courts and cycle path along the river. The beaches of La Napoule are extremely child friendly, with gradual inclines and plenty of soft sand. There is also a stunning Chateau right on the waterfront; that provides a fun-adventure walk for the kids and a super tea house for the parents! In Cannes la Bocca; there is an indoor swimming pool (if you fancy a rest from the sun) and Fun Ctiy, a large indoor play place for under 12's. The village of Theoule sur mer is only a 10 mins drive along the coast, which is particularly inviting for children; with family friendly restuarants, beaches and play park.
