'La Chamade' is located on a private road, off Rte D217, between the villages of Pierrefeu and Vieux Pierrefeu, at an altitude of approx 600 meters.
45 km from Nice airport, and 40 km from Exit 52 on Autoroute A8.
Pierrefeu, on Rte D17, is in the heart of the beautiful Esteron river valley, surrounded by 1500 meter mountains.
The valley offers interesting walking, and safe bathing in the river pools, as well as sightseeing and dining in its many ancient rural villages.
Small grocers, bakers and butchers shops are located in the villages of Gilette and Roquesteron (15 mins) and a large Carrefour supermarket is conveniently positioned at Lingostiere (35 mins), on RN 202.
From this quiet, undiscovered rural paradise, the beaches and 'night spots' of Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Monte-Carlo and Juan-les-Pins can be reached within an hour.
The Italian border is an easy hours drive, and the street market at Ventimiglia, every Friday, is a worthwhile excursion.
