For buying and selling property in Villeneuve Loubet
The village of Villeneuve Loubet, which lies on the French Riviera, is a place which combines a modern and cosmopolitan seaside resort with a traditional Provençal hill village. This offers the best of both worlds for both holiday makers and residents. Its position in the sunny south-east of France makes it one of the country's most desired locations, and the combination of the Provençal colours, countryside and the Mediterranean Sea renders it irresistible!
The seaside part of Villeneuve Loubet includes the large marina, with its array of luxury pleasure craft constantly coming and going. It is backed by what is almost certainly the Riviera's most amazing architecture. The buildings along this stretch of coast are shaped to resemble huge white waves, a case of art echoing nature, and they create a modern and stunning backdrop to the beaches and marina.
In this part of the town you can find all types of beach life, including sailing clubs and facilities for all manner of water sports (including the unusual and thrilling parascending, along with opportunities to doughnut, jet ski and power boat). Here too, are cafés, bars, shops and a huge selection of leisure activities and entertainment guaranteed to keep everyone happy and busy, from tinies to teens and beyond. The beaches offer a choice of the natural pebbled beaches (great if you don't want sand in your sandwiches!) or the imported fine sand beaches so beloved of families with small children.
For a real taste of Provence, wander up the hill to the old part of town, and settle down into a slower pace of life immediately! Here, in marked contrast to the modernity of the seafront, there are the old shady squares and streets of ancient Provence. There are pretty pastel-coloured houses, lovely floral displays in the window boxes and hanging on the balconies, narrow streets and traditional French shops and restaurants.
Take your time to explore... but make sure you make time to enjoy the wonderful Museum of Culinary Art, dedicated to the famous chef Auguste Escoffier, who was born in this town. Escoffier is credited with introducing French Haute Cuisine, and in this aptly situated museum you can find a fantastic history of French gastronomy and cooking techniques, utensils and styles. Don't miss the experience... you will find that your evening meal tastes even better when you have an understanding of its history.
What else to see and do in Villeneuve Loubet? Enjoy the Museum of Art and History, or pay a visit to the wonderful 17th century house and gardens of Vaugrenier, where you can take a guided tour in the summer. If you have children, it's good to know that the town organises a massive and varied programme of family friendly activities in the summer, with such delights as treasure hunts and cookery or petanque courses available! If you are seeking an activity with a difference, try the giant Adventure Maze (allow plenty of time for this one... it can take a while!) or the Adventure Park with its high flying, gravity defying tree based activities and rock climbing.
As well as the superb sea sports available at the coast, there are the sports of golf, horse-riding, walking, cycling, tennis and many other activities on offer inland, in or very near to the town. Villeneuve Loubet has a great selection of shops and restaurants, and it is close enough to the city of Nice for a big city experience too, if you should want one.
There is no problem in reaching Villeneuve Loubet from the UK, as the nearest airport is Nice, which has many airlines servicing it. British Airways, bmibaby, easyJet, bmi, Jet2, flybe, Air France and Aer Lingus all fly there. Nice also has TGV stop, meaning that you can travel by rail all the way from England, with a simple change at Paris. Drivers can sample the delights of the evocatively named the "Auto route de Soleil" (A8), the "Motorway of the Sun".
Sorry, this is not the place to look if you are on a very low budget... or if you are hoping to pick up a chateau at a bargain price. There are still good investment opportunities available though, if you keep your eyes peeled and are prepared to move quickly. Villeneuve Loubet provides a delightful quality of life, so if you value this above all else, it could be your perfect location.
