ACTIVITIES

The following is by no means a complete list of what you can find around La Parare, but a selection to give you an idea of what can be found in the area. We try to keep our records updated, and can also help to research if there is something in particular you are looking for.

Beaches

Closest: Nice and all the beaches along Promenade des Anglais
Nicest: Paloma beach at St Jean Cap Ferrat, and Malla Beach at Cap d'Ail.
A bit different: Escape the heat of the coast and go to the beautiful area along the river where you can ski during the winter, and where it is possible go swimming in the river during the summer.

Museums and gardens

On the Riviera and its surroundings there are museums for all tastes, ranging from large museums of international standard (Chagall, Matisse, Villa Rothschild…) to the museum of milk, only open on request.

Restaurants

There are too many to make a list, so we will just mention a couple:
Chez Rose: within walking distance in the village
Auberge du Soleil, Coaraze: A real family restaurant the way they should be, with magnificent views from the terrace.
Moulin de l’Olivraie in Blausasc: Interesting menu and very nice presentation.
Retour aux Sources in Luceram: Excellent service and very good food in a nice village to visit.
There are two restaurants with Michelin stars in the area:
Parcours, Falicon: A very good restaurant, excellent wines and set in a modern style.
Auberge de la Madonne: Classical French restaurant with a beautiful terrace.
Why not make a full day: Go to the Paloma Beach and stay for dinner at the lovely restaurant and watch the lights along the coast all the way to Monaco .

Shopping

Some ideas for nice things and gifts to bring home:
Olive oil: Nice is one of the centers for the olive oil production in France .
Wine: The wines of Provence have made a remarkable progress over the last 10 years or so. In the wine stores there is a wide selection, and it's also possible to go to the vine yards and buy directly.
Food and flowers: even if you don't intend to buy anything, a visit to one of the food markets in Provence is a treat.

Golf

Mont Agel, Monaco is the closest and is a spectacular course and then there are at least 13 courses within driving distance.

Helicopter

The ultimate gift: take the limousine from Cannes to La Parare, where you dine and spend the night. In the morning you get picked up by helicopter and make a panoramic tour back to the coast. For more details, see the link on the page for “Our favorites”.

Other

Finally, just to mention a few of the other options available in the area: Biking, canyoning, hiking, climbing, horseback riding, tennis – and a lot more.
