カンヌの上の丘にある広々としたエレガントなコートダジュールのヴィラ

Before purchasing a home in 2000, we rented various properties in the area for 15 years. We love this part of the world as it is one of the most spectacular and sophisticated places we have lived or visited with beautiful seacoast, hills, mountains, charming villages, and large metropolitan areas like Monaco, Nice and Cannes where almost any desire can be met.

We also enjoy other parts of southern Europe, particularly Italy and Spain but choose the French Riviera because it gave us and our children so many options for entertainment, cultural pursuits and healthy outdoor activities for children and adults of all ages. There is more than enough here to satisfy everyone

We have also been fortunate to meet many interesting people, many of whom have become good friends. The area attracts a diverse international crowd, with Britons, Scandinavians, Germans and, of course, French vacationers.

On the French Riviera there are some of the finest restaurants in Europe, but also simple brasseries, cafes and creperies.

There are virtually unlimited outdoor activities such as cycling, swimming, canyoning, hiking, paragliding, rock-climbing, riding, rafting, skiing (1.5-2 hours), windsurfing and kitesurfing, or just lying on the beach. We are avid cyclists and there is awesome cycling in the hills above Grasse as well as along the coast from Monaco to St Tropez

The Riviera also has many cultural attractions including museums, live music concerts and festivals, theatre, cinema, art galleries and dance, opera, symphony

For those who enjoy nightlife, there are world famous nightclubs, discotheques and live entertainment.

From our home, so much is accessible. Within an hour's drive, you can reach the Italian Riviera, the casinos in Monte Carlo, the pristine beaches of St. Tropez, historic Aix-en-Provence and Avignon, the lovely coastal city of Marseilles, chic Cannes, and the Gorges de Verdun, the 'Grand Canyon' of Europe.

Finally, the modern and international Nice airport makes it easy to reach the US, Asia and major European cities every day.
