With over 300 sunny days a year and its picturesque scenic views, Provence and the area has become the second most visited tourist region in France. Its strategic location at the heart of the French Riviera and its well-developed tourism infrastructure draw over three million visitors a year. In addition to its beautiful beaches, Nice is also proud to host 19 museums and galleries, the second largest number in France after Paris.

Port Grimaud is only a mile away; this is the mini Venice of the Cote d'Azur. Here you can take a boat taxi to see where Joan Collins used to live, have a coffee, ice cream or a bite to eat after you soaked up some rays on the beach.

Grimaud is a few miles inland. Situated on the top of the hill the views of it and from it are stunning. A walk up to the old castle is definitely worth it, particularly after you've had breakfast at Le Pattisserie de Chateau who makes great croissants.

St Tropez is appoximately 4 miles from the apartment. Whether its great food, serious retail therapy or just a stroll round on market day this beautiful old town has it all. Evening time brings everyone and his dog onto the streets to see the buskers or the artists at work, or to see if you can spot a celeb on one of the huge yachts - it really is a must see place.
