The Boulevard du Midi runs right along the seashore from this Côte d’Azur holiday home. It is a great stretch of fine, champagne-coloured sand several miles long; a place to lie and to relax, to sunbathe and to enjoy the view of yachts on the Bay of la Napoule running before the wind with multi-coloured spinnakers ballooning in the breeze, or to jog for miles along the beach. Snack bars, cafés and restaurants line the boulevard all the way to the Old Port, the Festival Hall and world famous la Croisette. After a day in the hot French Riviera sun, the beach is only a minute away from a refreshing shower and a glass of cold rosé in the garden under the shade of an elegant pergola.

La Croisette, beaches, seafood restaurants, cafes and terraces, as well as Le Suquet (the old quarter), local Provençal fairs, the "Vieux Port", artisans' areas, antique markets and world class shopping, are all within a short distance, providing a glamorous backdrop to the beautiful Mediterranean.
