Town: Saint Antonin Nobel Val

Town: Antibes
About the Locale: Antibes is both a very Cote D'Azur (full of sun, sea and, in season, tourists and year round, the very very wealthy) and another experience all together. The old city, perched right next to the deepest marina in the Mediterranean has the traditional charm of any medieval town on the coast. In the...
Biggest Pluses: Hard to decide...so many pluses, but probably the fact that you are in the dead center of Antibes' old town, full of lively activity...yet your apartment is beautifully quiet 90% of the time (You'll hear the occasional neighbor when windows are open.) Each time you walk out your door, you'll be su...

Biggest Pluses: Without a doubt, the view from the castle. Really breath-taking

Biggest Pluses:
Peculiarities: If you plan to not have a car, you'll need to know that the last five minutes walk from town (no more than 10 -15 minutes) center is uphill on a narrow road without sidewalks. It's do-able but one ne...

Town: Pezenas

Town: Mougins
About the Locale: Mougins is a hybrid -- much of the appeal of the Cote D'Azur (and some of the exclusivity) but also, a gem of a hilltop village at the top of the hill, surrounded by quite modern suburban sprawl. You can be at the Mediterranean in less than a half hour or in the many pretty towns throughout this r...
