Cannes has everything, beaches, restaurants, markets, shops, harbour
and old town and a stunning seafront with views out to the Lerrins
Islands and the Esterel Mountains. It is well positioned for
exploring the whole of the Cote d'Azure: Antibes, Nice and Monaco
are just a short, scenic train journey away along the coast and
visit Mougins for its famous restaurants, and Grasse for the
perfumeries. Take the train to Aix-en-Provence and delight at the
beautiful old buildings, markets and the countryside of Provence!

There are five excellent and very scenic golf courses near Cannes.
The skiing areas take about 2 hours to drive to but the mountains
and lakes for excellent walking are much closer. Coastal walking is
wonderful and the apartment has an excellent library of local
interest books and maps to help plan your stay. Boat trips out to
the beautiful, totally unspoilt and peaceful Lerrins Islands are
regular every day service and also further to St. Tropez. The bus
inland takes you to Mougins, Valbonne and Grasse. There are too many
excursions to mention here but as an example, in addition to taking
the train in the direction of Nice, another interesting little train
trip is to go in the other direction to the other end of the Bay of
Cannes, about 10 minutes on the train, to Theole sur Mer. Make your
way out of the station across a very pretty courtyard full of
tempting restaurants and cross the road to the sea front. Go down on
to the beach to the right of the beautiful old castle (which houses
an art exhibition), cross the sands and stroll right along between
the sea and the castle walls along an old stone path and then
continue over the cliffs to more beaches, harbours and restaurants
with decks out over the water. Admire the stunning views back to the
castle, the whole of the Bay of Cannes, Nice and the snow-capped
mountains beyond, or watch the fish in the crystal clean waters
below you, as you sip a delicious French coffee! It doesn't get
better than this
