See & Do
See & DoThe Cote d’Azur is at your feet, and you’re just a 30 minute drive from Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Monaco and Saint-Tropez. Delightful drives along back roads will take you to pretty provençal villages such as Peillon and St Paul de Vence. It’s also easy to drive into Italy and visit characterful old towns like Ventimiglia and San Remo.
Nice has its array of beaches along the Promenade des Anglais, a characterful old town full of squares and cafes and bags of nightlife. The Chagall and Matisse art museums and the Musée Raoul Dufy are also well worth a visit.
Do as much or as little as you want: sporting options include biking, canyoning, hiking on nearby hill trails, horse riding and tennis. Mont Agel at Monaco is a spectacular golf course, and there are a dozen others within driving distance. You can also swim in fresh water pools not far away from La Parare. You can also take the chance to improve your Kitchen skills, with cookery classes run in conjunction with a local restaurant.
Spa
There’s a sauna where you can turn up the heat, and a refreshing plunge pool.
