The Ephrussi de Rothschild villa in St Jean Cap Ferrat.
Located 1 hour 15 minutes from our gîtes www.locations-06.fr This majestic baroque style villa is a jewel from which, from any window on all the facades, you can see the deep blue sea. Its immense pond where koi carps swim offers a bucolic aspect and at certain periods, for example during plant days, during which you can attend a musical water play show. Its 6 themed gardens and its rose garden invite us to travel, while here and there we see the sea below. This villa, which has been selected twice to be the favorite monument of the French, ensures guaranteed delight for young and old.Share this article on:
The Oceanographic Museum of Monaco

Recently restored this historic emblem of Monaco which was created by the ancestor of Prince Albert of Monaco presents us with beautiful rooms with large volumes richly decorated, a very pretty aquarium, and finds from the research of prestigious members of the family princely.

The International Perfume Museum (the M.I.P) in Grasse.
Located only 9 kms from our gîtes www.locations-06.fr
We love this museum where we don’t see time passing, even if 2 hours seems to me a minimum to explore the place.
At the end of this museum you will know everything about perfume plants, their cultures, their artisanal then industrial transformations over time, the use of perfume in the world through different cultures.
You will be able to see films, posters, objects, perfume styles, etc. Smell plants, perfumes, discover the streets and customs of the world of perfume, etc.
An enchanting visit!
The Golden Corniche
Located 50 minutes from our gîtes www.locations-06.fr
Linking Mandelieu to St Raphaël in the Var, this winding road has been the setting for numerous films as the beauty of its landscapes is captivating.
We see a red rock plunging into blue water with green vegetation. It’s an explosion of colors!
We love its scenery, its landscapes, its bays, its sumptuous or typical villas made with red stone.
You can swim there, you can hike and gain some height, you can take a boat trip to better appreciate its coves and its seaside villas hidden by lush vegetation.
In any season, it’s always magnificent!
Old Nice
Just 40 minutes from our gîtes www.locations-06.fr
Old Nice is all our roots in a dish of ravioli!
Old Nice has picturesque markets like the one on Place St François where we like to buy our fish, or the Cours Saleya market where we stock up on fresh produce.
Old Nice has churches that welcome you in superb settings
Old Nice is a mix of people who live and share an authentic life together.
Old Nice is where we go to enjoy socca at Theresa, eat ravioli at Fran Calin and finish with a glass of ice cream with original flavors at Fenocchio.
Old Nice is home to simple, colorful houses, laundry drying in the windows, and perhaps the chance to meet Mado la Niçoise…
You have to go there to understand
