Mandelieu-La Napoule: Located just west of Cannes, offers a mix of natural beauty and cultural richness. It is known for its castle Château de la Napoule, beautiful beaches and has a large port for water sports. The property market in Mandelieu-La Napoule is diverse, with options ranging from luxury villas to cosy flats, often with beautiful views and in quiet surroundings.

Théoule-sur-Mer: This small idyllic coastal town is known for its extraordinary landscapes with views of the red rocks of the Esterel Mountains plunging steeply into the azure sea. It is a quieter choice for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of larger cities. Theoule has luxury villas and high-end flats, often with amenities such as swimming pools, terraces and gardens mostly overlooking and sometimes even with direct access to the sea.

Antibes: Combines historic charm with modern allure. With its old walled city, Picasso museum, and luxury marina Port Vauban, Antibes offers a rich mix of art, history, and nautical activities.

Les Adrets-de-l'Estérel: Located in the heart of the Esterel Mountains, this village offers spectacular natural scenes. It is ideal for hiking and cycling enthusiasts with its many trails winding through the rugged, red mountains. Les Adrets-de-l'Estérel offers a rather unique housing market compared to the more fashionable coastal cities such as Antibes and Cannes.
