St.Endreol:
Where do we start the area has so much to see and do! On site there is golf, swimming, health spa, jogging trails etc... and then a few minutes drive there are 2 lovely villages, La Motte and Le Muy, which has the most amazing food markets on Thursdays and Sundays. Le Muy also has a shopping centre with a large Casino supermarket. Around St. Endreol there are many chateaux where you can sample fantastic local wines and usually a bite to eat.
The Surrounding Area:
The most stunning natural feature of the Cote d'Azur is known as the Massif de l'Esterel, a red porphyry rock covered in pine, oak and eucalyptus trees, that can be seen from the house terrace. There are many walks you can take through the hills but a good map is recommended for the more difficult trails. We also see many keen mountain bikers and road cyclists. Around St.Endreol the roads are fantastic and the weather great all year round. There is also a canoeing centre just outside of La Motte.
The Riveria:
Heading through the Massif and towards the coast you reach St.Maxime or Frejus/St.Raphael. These are beachside resort towns with public beaches and great beach clubs. St.Maxime has an outdoor water park (open June- September) on its outskirts and St.Raphael is a leading diving centre thanks to the WWII shipwrecks of the coast. Regular daily boats run from the towns to a variety of places but the must see is St.Tropez and Port Grimaud.
There are so many beaches to choose from along the coast (40km) I couldn't begin to list them but a drive or walk along the coastal road of the Corniche de l'Esterel is not to be missed as the views are spectacular and along the way you will find small resorts and inlets where you can swim. In summer when this road gets very crowded, choose the inland N7, which runs through the hills to some beautiful towns and villages along the way.
Frejus is known for its famous Roman ruins.
