Suggestions to days out for the family:
There are plenty of activities in the area for the children if they tire of swimming in the pool and playing table tennis or boules in the garden.
In Antibes (10 minutes drive) there is a big water park and Marineland next door to each other. You can take one of the many boats from Cannes old harbour sailing to the Lerin Islands (visible from the villa), where you can enjoy lunch (remember to book a table) and swim in the crystal clear sea. Boats also sail to St. Tropez from Cannes - more relaxing than driving.
There is a motor museum not far from the house and in nearby Vallauris you can shop for pottery made locally. Grasse, famous for its perfume, is 15 minutes drive away and many of the perfumeries welcome visitors on specific times of the day.
For more up to date information, please see the welcome folder in the villa.
Suggestions for eating out:
Eating out on the Cote d'Azur is pure pleasure and one is completely spoilt for choice. Once you have explored Cannes (don't miss the small street, Le Souquet, opposite the old port, which has a superb selection of very reasonably prices restaurants), then you could drive to the mountain town of Mougins (15 minutes) and study the many restaurants and menus available in this charming and trendy town. Try the Restaurant Des Arts' 3 course menu of the day - tremendous value, or for a more sophisticated meal the Feu Follet is popular with the locals.
In Charming Vabonne, where you will also find one of the most well stocked vegetable and delicatessen shops on the coast, there is a lively town square with an extensive offering of well priced restaurants.
If you are looking for Michelin starred restaurants, you don't have to drive far. Try the Bastide de St. Antoine in Grasse, the Oasis in La Napoule or the Villa des Lys in the Hotel Majestic Barriere, Cannes. For a stunning drive
