The lovely beaches of Juan Les Pins are 15 mins walk away. We have had day trips to Avignon, Arles, with its associations with Van Gogh, and the nature reserve of the Carmargue. Aix en Provence is beautiful, as are the many towns, villages and perched villages in the mountains. In the Mercantour national park there are wonderful walks. Concerts and events are organized throughout the year and there are countless excellent museums and galleries. Nice and Cannes are great locations and easy to get to. Must sees are the beautiful villages of St Paul de Vence and Mougins - famous for art (and restaurants in Mougins), and Grasse for its perfume factories. St Tropez and the Lerins Islands can be visited by car or day return boat trip. Monte Carlo and the Italian Riviera both within the hour. For skiing, Valberg, Isola 2000 and Auron are all within reach for a day trip. The Verdon Gorge, the largest in Europe, is a dramatic sight, with many watersports available such as kayaking and rafting.
