The excellent A8 auto route provides access to Italy in the East while to the West there are many resorts such as St Tropez to visit. For those prepared for a longer day there is Avignon with its Papal Palace within reach. Inland the mighty Grand Canyon of Verdun in its National Park can be visited via Grasse.
Cannes, Antibes and Nice are within half an hour and Monte Carlo about an hour. In contrast are the picturesque villages of Biot - five minutes away, Mougins and Tourettes-sur Loup.

The Rue d'Antibes in Cannes is a must for elegant small shops as are the distinctive glassware shops in Biot. In contrast, is the large and exciting shopping mall of Cap 3000 by Nice Airport. Visit the weekly street market in Biot and the daily flower market in Nice, or the Carrefour hypermarket in Antibes. Variety is the theme.
