From the port there are ferry boats for the short hop across to the two picturesque Iles de Lerins islands of Saint Marguerite and Saint Honorat. The return trip is equally impressive with views of the Mimosa covered hills of Le Grand Duc above.

From the residence you are a mere 10 minutes drive to Cannes -the Playground of the rich and famous. The stunning promenade of the Croisette with its Palace hotels, Carlton, Majestic and Martinez, running in parallel with the rue d’Antibes with its end to end boutiques full of Mediterranean chic.

The adjacent Old Port and the cobble stoned street Le Suquet offers a multitude of restaurants from gourmet to casual.

The leading golf centre on the French Riviera, Mandelieu la Napoule is home to the prestigious “Old Course” which was built in 1891. Its 18-hole and 9-hole courses, set against a background of hundred year-old stone pine forests, are full of charm and a variety of hazards for all abilities. More recently built, the Cannes-Mandelieu Riviera Golf is known for the high quality of its course design which is the work of the American architect Robert Trent Jones.

Golf is not the only sporting pleasure afforded on the Riviera. The coast here is home to a variety of activities including sailing, diving, water skiing, yachting or simply lazing about on the fine sand beaches.

There are many activities to participate in La Plagne including paragliding, dog sledding, snow shoe walking, ice climbing, tobogganing and cross country skiing.

The ski domain of La Plagne is right at the heart of the Paradiski ski area, facing Mont Blanc and Beaufortain ranges, in the Savoie region. It has extensive intermediate runs plus plentiful excellent off piste terrain and there is something for all levels of skiers and boarders. Plagne 1800 has now been made easier by the completion of a bridge in Plagne Centre allowing skiers safe and uninterrupted access by piste over the main road. There is also the 7cube, which is a 900 metre long snowpark entirely dedicated to the practice of freestyle.

Thanks to the the link between Les Arcs, Peisey-Vallandry and La Plagne via the Vanoise Express, the Paradiski ski area is now one of the largest as well as one of the most diverse in the world. This area has a huge 425km of pistes (239 runs) for skiers and boarders of all levels, served by 175 ski lifts. It also boasts an impressive 5 snow parks, 2 glaciers and 2 summits at an altitude of more than 3000 metres! The “Vanoise Express” cable car connects all of Les Arcs with La Plagne and Peisey-Vallandry creating a very accessible area. It is the most prestigious cable car in the world providing a panoramic view of Mont Blanc, the Italian Alps and the Vanoise summits.
