There are beautiful surrounding villages and restaurants and the famous Cote d’Azur beaches are half an hour away. Golf, horse riding, canoeing and the stunning lake Saint Cassien (swimming, fishing, rowing, pedalo boats) are within 15 mins.
Cabris is a beautiful village perched on a high promontory extending out to the south from the Plan de Provence hills. The panoramic view from the top of the village, beside the 17th-century church Notre Dame de l'Assomption, is spectacular. The 'Table Panoramique' is in good condition, and helps identify Nice and the Fort du Mont Alban in the east, past Cannes and the Isles de Lérins and around to the Lac de St. Cassien and beyond to the west. The distinctively steep-sided butte at the Gorges du Blavet is easy to recognize.
Going down into the old village are narrow streets between tall medieval houses, stone steps in hidden alcoves and vaulted passages. The buildings are in good condition and well tended, with many colorfully restored.
