Le Rouret, on the eastern fringes of Provence, is situated between the Cote d'Azur and the Alpes Maritimes in the area the locals call the 'Triangle d'Or'. Only 20 minutes from Cannes and Nice, le Rouret is quaint and has been settled since Roman times. The villa, which is located on a quiet road in peaceful, wooded area, is close to both a Roman road and a Roman encampment. The centre of the village boast, inter alia, a cafe, a Michelin-stared restaurant, other eateries, a wine shop and, or course, a baker. There is a bus service from Nice and Grasse, where Queen Victoria holidayed, and a train service from both to Cannes and Italy.
There are many 'villes perches' nestled in the hills nearby, such as St Paul de Vence, home to the Columb d'Or where Picasso, Chagal and many other artists paid for their lodge with paintings and sculptures, all srill in situ. Grasse is the perfume capital of the world, while medieval Valbonne is uber-quaint, with a fabulous market every Friday.
