There are several excellent golf courses all within a half hour's drive of Grasse. There are many well-known hiking routes and paragliding is also a popular local sport. Sail boats can be hired from nearby Cannes and there are all the other popular water sports, e.g., water-skiing, windsurfing, parascending, etc. For children, there is the excellent Oceanographic museum at Monaco, the Florian sweet factory at Pont sur Loup, and Antibes Land which has a water park, aquarium and farm.

Grasse:
The property is conveniently located 5 minutes from the old French town of Grasse which has a square full of art and sculpture galleries. The old town is extremely interesting with tiny streets that wind forever between the historic buildings, leading up and down ancient steps and passing through arched tunnels, sometimes opening out on to large squares. The hills behind give Grasse a fresher climate than the beach during the heat of the summer, with a delicious smell of flowers all around. Fountains and clear air abound! The apartment is also near the magnificent cathedral of Grasse (with three Rubens!) and Fragonard which is one of the main perfumeries of Grasse - 'the perfume capital of the world'. All amenities are just a few minutes walk away, with a local produce market in the Place des Herbes, and the daily flower market is held in Place aux Aires where there is also a large choice of provençal restaurants. There is public underground car park.
