First and foremost, the fantastic sunny climate and stunning forest setting make this place truly special. Nestled at the foothills of the Alps and close to the Mediterranean, it offers the best of both worlds.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find endless opportunities for adventure—whether it’s hiking (rando), trail running, rock climbing, or sailing on the Mediterranean. The forest begins right at our garden’s edge, while the mountains, including the famous Col de Vence—a legendary cycling route—are just 10 minutes away. The beach, perfect for a seaside escape, is only a 30-minute drive.
Nearby, the medieval hilltop villages of Saint-Paul and Tourrettes-sur-Loup, both listed among France’s most beautiful villages, are just a short 10-minute drive away. And in the summer, Vence comes alive with vibrant music and art festivals, centered around Place du Grand Jardin, making it the cultural heart of the region.
