As the weather warms up, our thoughts seem to turn almost sub-consciously to the summer time and days spent lounging on a long, white beach.
And fortunately, here on the Cote d’Azur, we are in the right place to do just that. The French Riviera, home to some of the most exclusive South of France real estate, boasts a string of beautiful beaches which run along the coastline from Menton to Saint Tropez.
And while Valbonne may not be directly on the coast, the town is surrounded by a number of excellent and quite different beaches to head to after checking out the South of France real estate we have on offer.

Pass any confiserie or chocolaterie this week in Valbonne – or indeed in any town the length and breadth of the country – and you will be mesmerized by the wonderful array of Easter goodies that adorn the shops windows.
Elaborately decorated Easter bunnies, colorful Easter chicks and chocolate eggs of all shapes and sizes are now in situ in displays across France as the countdown to Easter begins.
The French – being a predominantly Catholic country – celebrate Easter in a big way and it’s an extremely pleasant time to visit the region if you are planning on a house-hunting trip to view Valbonne property for sale.
Celebrations begin on the Thursday before Easter, which is known as le Jeudi Saint. On this day observant visitors looking at South of France real estate might notice that none of the churches’ bells are ringing. They are silenced due to the ancient myth that all the bells fly to the Vatican City in Rome to acknowledge the death of Jesus.
