DAY TRIP IDEAS
Seillans and Callian (6km & 9km)
Local medieval villages within 15–20min drive with narrow winding streets and both with their own castles. Callian is a tranquil village with invigorating climate while Seillans has a range of hiking trails for walkers of all abilities, the Ernst Museum with a collection of works by the famous surrealist artist Max Ernst. Seillans also has an annual pottery market and numerous concerts and occasional events throughout the year.
Lac de St Cassien (14km)
A superb lake just 30min away, an ideal place for water sports lovers including windsurfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, pedalo, jet ski, fishing and great for walking and horse riding in the Leisure Park. The lake is surrounded by lots of picnic areas, but it is always best to get there early to make sure you can get a spork.
Grasse (30km)
Grasse is famous worldwide for its perfumeries and is often hailed as the perfume capital of the world! It even has a museum of perfume. Grasse is a fascinating old town with pretty streets, squares full of life, numerous shops, restaurants, a daily market and a magnificent Cathedral. Grasse gets quite busy especially in August during the Fete du Jasmin where you can see floats driving through town throwing flowers into the crowd. Known as the Bataille de Fleurs (flower battle), onlookers get soaked by their natural perfume. During the event there are fireworks and dancing. If you are looking for something a little different why not visit the limestone caves and grottos leading up to the Plateau de Caussols, 4km north of Grasse.
Frejus and Saint-Raphael (32km)
Frejus is an ancient military port and Roman city with a rich historical and architectural heritage. You will find some superb Roman remains including a Roman theatre still used for various summer events and one of the largest amphitheatres from Gallic times.
Cannes (40km)
One of the unmissable jewel of the Cote d’Azur with sandy beaches and large promenade La Croisette, chic boutiques, classy restaurants, bars, shops and numerous festivals throughout the year, including of course the Cannes Film Festival in May each year.
Nice (64km)
Glamourous and lively seaside city with a wide range of activities on offer from shopping in Nice’s chic pedestrian precinct, to wandering around the old town with its small shops, busy pubs, restaurants and its famous market. For those interested in history there is also plenty to do such as visiting Roman remains of Cimiez where a superb Jazz festival takes place in July. There are also a number of museums to discover (Matisse, Chagall, Palais Lascaris, Art Museum MAMAC and many others). Why not go to the Parc Phoenix, a huge botanical greenhouse garden and zoo? It is one of the largest in Europe with six different tropical climates and thousands of plants to discover. The brand-new Promenade du Paillon, a huge green zone covers 12ha and 1.2km long is located in the heart of Nice with plants, trees, fountains and play areas. If you fancy an overview of Nice and see it as shown so often on photos then make your way to Mont Boron mountain which offers spectacular view points to the west over Nice harbour and the whole bay of Nice which is magnificent by day or by night when it is all lit up. To the east you will also have great views of St Jean Cap Ferrat peninsula and Monaco.
