Without doubt one of the most sought after post codes for those looking for a property for sale in the South of France is that of Valbonne: 06150
But what isn’t quite so clear is whether it is the village’s beautiful medieval centre, its buzzing atmosphere or the simple fact that it is minutes from the South of France’s most important industrial park that has given Valbonne such a reputation.

Conveniently close to the coast yet far enough away to feel removed, the villages and towns in the hills north of Cannes are extremely popular with house-hunters looking for property for sale in South of France.
Perhaps the most well-known of all the towns in the Arrière Pays Cannois is Grasse, which has been a successful tourist destination for decades. The thriving town became famous as a winter retreat in 1807 when Princess Pauline Bonaparte, the Emperor‘s sister, spent several months there to recuperate from illness.

With more than 300 days of sunshine every year the Cote d’Azur is the perfect winter holiday destination.
Yet the region – with its superb beaches, picturesque ports and mountainous hinterland – is still regarded by most as somewhere to come to on their summer holiday. Mention the Cote d’Azur to most and they conjure up an image of aqua blue swimming pools, or the shimmering Mediterranean Sea.

Separated by nearly 300 years many would be forgiven into thinking Nostradamus and Matisse would have little in common. However they would be wrong as the picturesque, hilltop town of Vence, on the French Riviera, would leave huge impressions on both Frenchman’s lives.

The scorching sun has long since gone, and the crowds have slowly disappeared. But those looking for Valbonne real estate will still find there is an enormous amount of things to do out of season on the French Riviera.
One of the most popular festivals at this time of year is the Chestnut Festival where towns and villages across the Alpes-Maritimes and Var departments give over whole weekends to the much-revered chataigne.
