Vacation in The South of France

A visit to the Cote D’Azur in the South of France can be anything you want it to be –  from glamorous Cannes to people-watching from a shaded café in a quaint little village surrounded by flower fields and the seducing smell of lavender.

It all comes down to a choice: Where do you  choose to go for your French Villa Vacation on the French Côte d’Azur?

Choose from some of the French Riviera’s most beautiful and historic towns.

Grasse is situated about 15km north from Cannes and half an hours drive from Nice. It is known as the Perfume Capital of the world  and you will find plenty of perfume museums, factories and shops to explore. It is a charming town full of winding narrow streets – many lined with quaint pavement cafes.

The high altitude of the town, 300-400 m, and the hills behind give Grasse a fresh climate  during the heat of the summer….and you can always take a dip in your private pool should you need to cool down.
