Exceptional Bastide See View

Châteauneuf-de-Grasse sits on a limestone ridge in the arrière-pays of the Alpes-Maritimes, roughly midway between Grasse and Valbonne, at an elevation that delivers unobstructed views across the Côte d’Azur from the Esterel to the Bay of Nice. The village retains its medieval core of narrow lanes and stone houses, and the surrounding countryside is defined by terraced olive groves, dry-stone walls, and the particular quality of light that has drawn artists and architects to this part of Provence for generations. It is rural in character without being remote.

The weekly market in Valbonne, ten minutes by car, covers daily provisions. Grasse, the historic centre of the French perfume industry, is a fifteen-minute drive and offers a broader range of shops and services. For restaurants, Mougins and its cluster of serious dining addresses, including Le Moulin de Mougins, are within twenty minutes. Sophia Antipolis, Europe’s largest technology park, is immediately adjacent.

Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport is approximately thirty-five minutes by car via the A8 autoroute, with direct connections to most major European cities and long-haul routes to North America and the Middle East. Cannes is around thirty minutes by road. The TGV station at Antibes or Cannes provides high-speed rail access to Paris in roughly five and a half hours. Monaco is reachable in under an hour by car.
