<p>Situated about 14km from the coast, the village sits on a rocky plateau and enjoys some of the most stunning views along the coast.</p>
<p>Here, you will discover a village full of art culture and an abundance of charm, around which have been built some of the most wonderful <a title="South France property" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/" target="_self">South of France property</a>.</p>
<p>Tourrettes sur Loup has taken great pains to preserve its historical roots and a visit around property<strong> </strong>in the area should definitely incorporate a tour of the village’s fortifications. Here you will discover the 15th century castle which is a splendid sight that can be seen from many of our <a title="property for sale Tourrettes sur Loup" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/french_property/france-property-for-sale-tourrettes-sur-loup-page.html" target="_self">property for sale Tourrettes sur Loup</a>.</p>
<p>Like many of the picturesque villages which perch on hilltops along the Cote d’Azur, Tourrettes sur Loup became a Mecca for artists in the mid 20<sup>th</sup> century. The painters and craftsmen were drawn to the village by its wonderful light and the breathtaking panorama, a view of which many of our <a title="property for sale Tourrettes sur Loup" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/french_property/france-property-for-sale-tourrettes-sur-loup-page.html" target="_self">properties for sale in Tourrettes sur Loup</a><strong> </strong>still enjoy today.</p>

During spring these terraces are brought to life by an  incredible carpet of purple flowers that come into bloom; the Tourrettes violet or ‘victoria’ is still grown here in abundance. The flower has been cultivated here for more than 150 years and every March, it is celebrated in its very own Violet Festival.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/property_news/wp-content/uploads/saint-paul-vence.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3727" title="properties for sale St Paul de Vence" src="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/property_news/wp-content/uploads/saint-paul-vence-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>The perfectly perched village of St Paul de Vence is arguably one of the best known on the Cote d’Azur – and even, let’s be honest, in the whole of France.</p>
<p>Located on a rocky promontory 12km north-east of Nice and enjoying magnificent views along the Riviera, the village is hugely popular with visitors who flock to its meandering streets and shady squares in their millions every year. In the height of summer, up to seven thousand tourists visit Saint Paul de Vence every day.</p>
<p>Unsurprisingly, the village has also become one of the most coveted addresses for house-hunters looking for <a title="property for sale South of France" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/" target="_self">property for sale South of France</a>, with a number of extremely well-known figures already having made St Paul de Vence their home.</p>
<p>A large number of those searching for <a title="properties for sale St Paul de Vence" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/french_property/france-property-for-sale-st-paul-de-vence-page.html" target="_self">properties for sale in St Paul de Vence</a> do so because of its rich and colourful history, which is made abundantly apparent from every cobbled alleyway and fountain in this charming village which towers over the surrounding countryside at an altitude of 180 metres.</p>
<p>Due to its perched position St Paul de Vence was initially used as a strategic look out by its first settlers which are believed to have been a band of Ligurians from north-west Italy who came to the region in around 400BC.</p>
<p>The village, around which can be found some of the most exclusive <a title="property for sale South of France" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/" target="_self">property for sale South of France</a>, fell under Roman control in around 120BC, later becoming known as Castrum Sancti Pauli – meaning St Paul’s fortress – when it was populated by Christians in the early AD centuries.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/property_news/wp-content/uploads/picasso.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3728" title="Picasso " src="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/property_news/wp-content/uploads/picasso-252x300.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="300" /></a>In 1537 Saint Paul de Vence became a ‘royal borough’ under the direct authority of the King of France, with a continuous wall being built around the cobbled streets and stone houses at the request of Francois I. However, in 1747, disaster struck when the village was virtually destroyed during the wars of succession, and many of the buildings were destroyed.</p>
<p>Fast-forward two centuries and Saint Paul de Vence entered a new era after being discovered by a group of impressionist artists. The village became the chosen home from home for artists such as Picasso, Matisse and Marc Chagall, who was buried there at his request.</p>
<p>Today those searching for <a title="properties for sale St Paul de Vence" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/french_property/france-property-for-sale-st-paul-de-vence-page.html" target="_self">properties for sale in Saint Paul de Vence</a><strong> </strong>will be able to enjoy the artists’ wonderful heritage by dining at the famous Colombe d’Or restaurant, in which hangs many valuable pieces of art from the early 20<sup>th</sup> century. The village also boasts the Fondation Maeght, a world renowned modern art museum.</p>

<p>Golf was introduced to the region at the end of the 18<sup>th</sup> century by Grand-Duc Michael, the disgraced brother of Russian Tsar Alexander III who was banished to France due to an ill-matched marriage.</p>
<p>Grand-Duc Michael was already a keen golfer, and he soon realised that not everything was bad about his new enforced home. Indeed, the Cote d’Azur offered then, as it does now, endless possibilities for golf and in 1891 the area’s first course, the Cannes-Mandelieu Golf Club, was opened.</p>
<p>Today, the Cote d’Azur boasts some of the greatest golf courses in the world, many of which are located in the Var and within a short drive from our <a href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/french_property/france-property-for-sale-la-garde-freinet-page.html" target="_self">villas for sale in La Garde Freinet</a>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">In fact, the Var has no less than 17 places to play golf – ranging from a few low-key places where you can practice at six holes, to some world-class 18 holes courses which can be enjoyed all year round due to the fantastic weather. </span></p>
<p>Here is a guide to some of our favorite Var courses for all those golfing-enthusiasts looking for <a title="proprty for sale south of France" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/" target="_self">property for sale in the South of France</a>:</p>

<p>But the French Riviera is anything but simply a summer destination, with more than 300 days of sunshine all year round.</p>
<p>And arguably one of the most beautiful seasons in the South of France is winter, when the skies are bright blue and the air considerably warmer than you would think.</p>
<p>If you find a sheltered spot in the December sun you could be tempted to strip down to a t-shirt, such is the strength of its rays. Meanwhile if you are hunting for <a title="property for sale cannes" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/french_property/france-property-for-sale-cannes-page.html" target="_self">property for sale in Cannes</a> you might well see people still swimming in the sea.</p>
<p>Throughout the month of December there are a number of wonderful events held to celebrate Christmas, and if you are looking for a <a title="property for sale Cannes" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/french_property/france-property-for-sale-cannes-page.html" target="_self">property for sale in Cannes</a> during this time, it’s imperative you take advantage of the festive cheer.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/property_news/wp-content/uploads/Vienna-Christmas-Market-decorations.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3642" title="villas for sale South France" src="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/property_news/wp-content/uploads/Vienna-Christmas-Market-decorations-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>The main spectacle for Christmas in Cannes is its Marche de Noel, which will open its doors on 12<sup>th </sup>December on the Esplanade Pantiero. The market is a feast on all the senses, and a real must for anyone in the area looking for <a title="villas for sale South France" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/" target="_self">villas for sale in the South of France</a>.  Here you can wander around the 60-odd stalls selling handmade gifts, delicious hot mulled wine and huge plateaus of freshly prepared oysters.</p>
<p>There are also some great Christmas fair rides for the children – and of course a visit from Father Christmas himself – plus a sizeable ice rink for all the family.</p>
<p>For those of your searching for your ideal <a title="property for sale Cannes" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/french_property/france-property-for-sale-cannes-page.html" target="_self">property for sale in Cannes</a> around December 21<sup>st</sup>, there is also the Fete des Luminiere, which is a French tradition which comes from Lyon. On this night, every house will place candles along the outsides of the windows to historically thank Mary, the mother of Jesus.</p>
<p>Another popular Christmas event which is worth the trip if you are in the region searching for <a title="vilas for sale South France" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/" target="_self">villas for sale in the South of France</a> is the Foire aux Santons in Mouans Sartoux. The event, which is open until 24<sup>th</sup> December, is the Alpes-Maritimes largest market for Christmas crib figurines.</p>

The choice of education for children moving to this pretty town on the French Riviera really is first class, which is a huge reason why it has become so popular with expatriate house-hunters.</p>
<p>The state education in France is much admired for its academic standards, discipline and wide-ranging baccalaureate examination programme. Most children in France are educated in the public system, with results being amongst the highest in Europe, if not the world.</p>
<p>Many house-hunters searching for <a title="property for sale in South France" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/" target="_self">property for sale in South France</a> do so for access to its first-class, free education, with local schools in Valbonne being particularly highly regarded.</p>

<p>However, for those of you who feel a total immersion into the French system will be a step too far for your children, there are also a number of excellent international schools near Valbonne to consider.  They include:</p>
<p><a title="Mougins school" href="http://www.mougins-school.org" target="_blank">Mougins School</a>:<strong> </strong>This is an international school which is within a five minute drive of Valbonne. For children aged between 3 and 18, the school follows the British system of GCSEs and A’Levels.</p>

Based in Sophia Antipolis, it caters to pre-school, primary and secondary pupils. The school follows the IB programme.</p>
<p><a title="CIV" href="http://www.civfrance.com" target="_blank">CIV:</a> This school is a day and boarding school in Sophia Antipolis which is called the Centre International de Valbonne. It is one of only a half-dozen French state schools to boast international sections, and it is the only one to offer the IB programme.</p>
<p><a title="Nice International school" href="http://www.isn-nice.com" target="_blank">International School of Nice:</a><strong> </strong>This international school is not bi-lingual as all classes are taught in English, but a large number of bi-lingual children do attend it. The school, also known as ISN, is about 30 minutes from Valbonne and also follows the International Baccalaureate programme.  It welcomes children aged between 4 and 18.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ecolesbilingues.com" target="_blank">Ecole Bilingue a Pegomas, Ecole Le Pain d’Epice and Ecole Le Pain de Sucre: </a>This is a three site bi-lingual school in Pegomas, Cagnes-sur-Mer and Nice offering 50 per cent of its lessons in English, and the other 50 per cent in French.</p>

<p>And all it takes is a quick glance at the village, which is perched on a rocky outcrop some 15 minutes drive from the coast, to see why.</p>
<p>Built more than 1,000 years ago at its elevated position 260 metres above sea level and a stone’s throw from the festival town of Cannes, Mougins has become one of the Cote d’Azur’s precious jewels visited by thousands every year.</p>
<p>Many come to soak up the wonderful atmosphere in the village’s winding, cobbled streets. Others come to enjoy the first-class golf at any one of the golf clubs which surround the village.</p>

<p>But this popular area of the south of France isn’t all about the glamorous coast,  just as looking at <a title="villas for sale French Riviera" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/" target="_self">villas for sale on the French Riviera</a> shouldn’t be all about its distance to the sea. </p>
<p>Many of  the regions gems are found hidden in the many hilltop villages that are perched high above the hectic coast. And within these picturesque towns are some of the most luxurious and stunning <a title="villas for sale French Riviera" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/" target="_self">villas for sale on the French Riviera</a>.</p>
<p>Arguably one of the most magical of all the hilltop settlements is the medieval village of Tourrettes-sur-Loup<strong>,</strong> which was built on a rocky outcrop surrounded by stunning scenery stretching all the way down to the Rivera.</p>
<p>Situated in the Alpes-Maritimes department between the towns of Vence and Grasse, the town enjoys panoramic views of the Cote d’Azur and is surrounded by some of the prettiest countryside in the region. The village is backed by a range of hills, from the Puy de Tourrette to the hills around the Col de Vence.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/property_news/wp-content/uploads/Tourettes-Sur-Loup-Inner-Street.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3615" title="villas for sale French Riviera" src="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/property_news/wp-content/uploads/Tourettes-Sur-Loup-Inner-Street-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>Now, Tourrettes-sur-Loup is home to a growing number of artisans who have set up their studios and workshops in the ancient village houses which line the paved alleys of the old town. At the last count, there were around 30 workshops and galleries making Tourrettes-sur-Loup an important place for arts and crafts on the French Riviera.</p>
<p>The town, which was given the charming title of City of the Violets after fields of the pretty purple flower were planted and cultivated on surrounding terraces more than a century ago, also boasts a number of first-class restaurants, an active town hall and a thriving rugby club.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.propertyforsalesouthfrance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/mougins.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28" title="mougins" src="http://www.propertyforsalesouthfrance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/mougins.jpg" alt="mougins property for sale" width="253" height="169" /></a>There is no doubt that Mougins, located in the Alpes-Maritimes department, is one of the ‘true gems’ of the cote d’Azur. It is also one of the first ports of call for those seeking <a title="Property for Sale in the South of France" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/">property for sale in the south of France</a>.</p>
<p>Curiously however, it was Mougin’s former residents who first brought this medieval settlement to the attention of the wider public. Most notable of these was Pablo Picasso who resided here for the last 12 years of his life (1961–1973). Fashion figures also feature heavily with Yves Saint Laurent and Christian Dior among villagers. And one must not forget Edith Piaf and even Winston Churchill.</p>
<p>So what drew all these influentials to the village? Firstly, Celebrities are attracted to Mougins thanks to its close proximity to Cannes, particularly during the Cannes Film Festival. Elizabeth Taylor even hosted the &#8216;amfAR&#8217; AIDS Charity dinner for the who’s who of Hollywood in Mougins for almost 10 years until 2008.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.propertyforsalesouthfrance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Mougins-views.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-32" title="Mougins views" src="http://www.propertyforsalesouthfrance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Mougins-views-300x224.jpg" alt="Property for Sale in Mougins" width="240" height="179" /></a>Secondly, glamour and glitz aside the area has obvious appeal. Mougins provides an escape from the city in beautiful surroundings. The village is situated high in the hills but surrounded by rich woodland, such as the Valmasque forest, which covers 437 hectares.</p>
<p>The village also offers visitors spectacular views of the &#8220;baie de Cannes&#8221;, Grasse, the Lérins islands and the &#8220;Préalpes&#8221;. It is this natural beauty which to this day attracts both holiday makers and those seeking a <a title="Property for Sale in the South of France" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/">property for sale in the South of France</a>.</p>
<p>Mougins has also been famed for its fine cuisine with renound chefs such as Roger Vergé and Alain Ducasse having managed restaurants in the village. It therefore provides a fitting location for an annual gastronomic festival. Each September the &#8216;International Gastronomy Festival of Mougins&#8217;, or &#8216;Les Étoiles de Mougins&#8217;, takes place in the village, giving foodies everywhere an additional incentive to visit.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.propertyforsalesouthfrance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/mougins-streets.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-30" title="mougins streets" src="http://www.propertyforsalesouthfrance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/mougins-streets-300x241.jpg" alt="" width="231" height="186" /></a>On arriving in Mougin, you cannot fail to be seduced by the charm of the ancient houses and narrow roads, bordered by an array of bright flowers. There is a wide range of <a title="Property For Sale In Mougins" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/french_property/france-property-for-sale-mougins-page.html">Property for sale in Mougins</a>, from smaller houses to some of the largest villas in the area. The larger properties are generally located on the outskirts of the village behind magnificent gardens and parkland.</p>
<p>So, on further investigation it appears to be ‘no accident’ that Mougins continues to be one of the &#8220;must-sees&#8221; on the Cote d&#8217;Azur.</p>

<p>The list of famous artists who made it their home during the 20<sup>th</sup> century and whom painted some of their greatest works under its unique sky is long and impressive. It was here that Picasso, Renoir, Matisse, Dufy, Chagall, Cocteau, Leger, Soutine, Signac, Giacometti, Gauguin and Van Gogh changed the course of art history.</p>
<p>Many of these artists made the picturesque hilltop towns found in the region their home, like a growing number of people searching for <a title="villas for sale in St Paul de Vence" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/french_property/france-property-for-sale-st-paul-de-vence-page.html">villas for sale in St Paul de Vence</a> hope to do.</p>
<p>This beautiful fortified town, now a Mecca for art-lovers, has also become a magnate for international clients looking for <a title="property for sale south of france" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/">property for sale South of France</a>.</p>
<p>St Paul de Vence is located a gentle 20 minute incline from the coastal road between Nice and Cannes. The charming town used to be a ‘royal borough’ and in 1537 a continuous wall was built around the cobbled streets and stone houses at the request of Francois I.</p>
<p>The entrance to St Paul de Vence, just past the world-famous La Colombe d’Or restaurant where many of the 20<sup>th</sup>century artists came to stay, features a canon muzzle that was a trophy from the 1544 Battle of Cerisoles, in Italy.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.propertyforsalesouthfrance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/La_Colombe_dOr.350w_263h.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-18" style="padding: 10px;" title="property for sale South of France" src="http://www.propertyforsalesouthfrance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/La_Colombe_dOr.350w_263h-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Artists Signac, Modigliani and Bonnard famously met in St Paul de Vence in the 1920s, where they offered their paintings in lieu of food and a place to rest their heads. Their masterpieces, and the works of other Impressionists, now hang on the walls of what has become one of the most famous restaurants on the French Riviera, La Colombe d’Or. It is the perfect place to stop and reflect on that <a title="property for sale South of France" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/">property for sale South of France</a> you’ve just viewed.</p>
<p>Another highlight of St Paul de Vence is the Fondation Maeght, a unique modern art museum where the garden is full of Joan Miro’s sculptures and the rooms are packed with Chagalls, Braques and Giacomettis.</p>

<p>Many people like the idea of living in or near an old village, but do not want the problems that come with buying a historic <a href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/" target="_blank">South of France property</a>. Unfortunately the possibilities of building  on the Cote d&#8217;Azur in such a position are very limited and it is only occasionally that land becomes available for a new-build project. This development in Biot is one such project and represents a unique opportunity being positioned just two hundred meters from the entrance to the centre of Biot village, with its restaurants, glass maker, museum etc. There are apartments with from one to three bedrooms, some of which enjoy wonderful views over the French Riviera from Cap d&#8217;Antibes to the Baie des Anges. The Apartments have either terraces, balconies or patios and are generally south facing. These quality <a title="Biot apartment" href="http://www.coastandcountryfrance.com/french_property/france-property-for-sale-biot-page.html" target="_self"> Biot apartments</a> are for sale in the price range of just over EUR250,000 to around EUR1,300,000. You should note that there is also a shared swimming pool.</p>
