Location
Le Rouquier is 5 minutes drive from Seillans, one of the ‘plus beaux villages de France’. In Seillans there is a Carrefour supermarket, top class restaurants, a pharmacy and a rich artistic history. Fayence is 10 minutes by car, a small and vibrant market town with many fine restaurants and larger supermarkets. 20 minutes from the house is Lac St Cassien with beautiful freshwater swimming, pedalos and boating. The nearest beaches are about 40 minutes away and range from Les Issambres, to Theole sur Mer, to Cannes. Beautiful hill villages are dotted around the surrounding countryside, and stunning walks and cultural visits abound in the area. Nice airport is 50 minutes from the house.
Visit Seillans, officially one of the most beautiful villages in France, with its art ateliers, medieval streets, beautiful restaurant terraces and spectacular views to the Esterel peninsular. The surrounding hill villages of Fayence (10 minutes), Callian, Montauroux and Mons offer equally stunning views, Provençal markets and incredible local food. And then there is the wine…
Le Rouquier is opposite the Chateau des Selves vineyard and adjacent to Val d’Iris. What could be more relaxing than an aperitif in the olive groves, sipping the local wine.
The local lake, Lac St Cassien, is a stunning place for fresh water swimming and boating, with a few beach cafés on the shore for refreshment and light meals.
Le Rouquier is within an hour of the best the Cote D’Azur has to offer. Cannes, Abtibes, Nice, L’Esterel, Fréjus, Les Issambres and St Tropez are all easily accesible - with many beaches at 40 minutes’ drive.
To do
‘It was a pleasure to feel oneself in Provence again - the land where the silver-grey earth is impregnated with the light of the sky. …It seemed to me that true happiness would consist in wandering through such a land on foot…one might stretch oneself on the warm ground in some shady hollow, and listen to the hum of bees’
— Henry James, On Provence
