Valbonne is situated in the Alpes Maritimes, a region bursting with history, culture and breathtaking scenary. From the coastline of beautiful towns and beaches to the medieval hill-top villages - there is something for everyone here. For glitz and glamour visit Monaco, for medieval charm and spectacular sea views visit Eze, for luxury boats visit Cannes & Antibes, for impressionist paintings visit St Paul de Vence & Cagnes sur Mer, for perfumeries visit Grasse, and for the Promenade des Anglais visit Nice. The list is endless.
If sport and action are your things, why not try canyoning or parapenting? For a great family day out, you could try your tree climbing skills at Canyon Forest, Villeneuve Loubet, or swim with the dolphins at Marineland, Antibes. There is also pony trecking at Col de Vence. There is also fabulous walking in the Gorge du Loup and surrounding areas. See the 'links' page for more ideas.
If that all sounds too energetic, you can simply relax at one of the many restaurants and watch the world pass you by. |
