Accessibility
The site has good access for wheelchairs, but the roads are not always flat. There are three steps onto the terrace, and the doors are not wide enough to allow a wheelchair through.
Outside
The plot is large for a mobile home, 40feet x 40 feet, with plenty of room for sun beds (2), reclining chairs (2), a hammock, or simple chairs. There is a small electric barbecue which rests on the outside fridge where you can cook with your guests. Real flame barbecues are not allowed. There are window boxes and tubs, which we hope you will water. The setting of the site is natural and beautiful, where water is at the heart of the environment. There are 5 outdoor pools, one of which is heated, six flumes and jacuzzi, and a covered recreational area with 2 heated pools, flume, steam room and jacuzzi. The total of safe bathing area with lifeguards is 1500sq.m, all of which have a bathing area bordered by a shady grove of palms.

Coast/Beach
There are many beaches in the area, with St Raphael and Frejus 10 minutes away when the roads are clear. St Tropez can be accessed by boat from St Raphael, or St Maxime in the summer. The roads are very busy in July and August. The famous corniche is well worth the drive following the coastal path all the way to Monte Carlo, or even through to Italy. There are many pretty inland villages worth a trip by car. Port Frejus is worth an evening visit, and Port Grimmaud is further but worth a visit.
Golf
Valescure is a golfing mecca with two 18 hole courses and a 9 hole with practise areas, and everything that goes with a golf centre. This is 15 minutes from the home. There are 2 other 18 hole courses a similar distance but in different directions. Cannes is less than 30 minutes away and more courses can be found in that area.
Skiing
It is possible to have a sun, sand and ski holiday as Isola 2000 is 90 minutes away.
Travel
It is very useful to have a car, but there are buses which wait outside the site. Many visitors do not leave the site as there is so much to do. Nice Airport is 40 minutes away, with Marseille about 90 minutes. The TGV goes to St Raphael from Paris, and a new route from London to Avignon and on to St. Raphael is available, check TGV and SNCF sites. The car or a train is a possibility, but the journey from Calais on the peage (paid motorways) is 10 to 12 hours.
Distances
The site is 3 miles from the sandy beaches of St Raphael and Frejus. 25 miles form Cannes, and 40 miles form Nice. We are 16 miles from St Maxime where you can catch a regular boat to St Tropez. The golf at Valescure is 5 miles away and the beautiful bay of Agay is a further 2 miles. The train station at St Raphael is 4 miles.
Further details
The local Carrefour, the equivalent to Tesco is 3 miles away, where you can find many other shopping outlets. The traditional markets are found in all the local areas. Restaurants are available on the camp site, which is reasonable, there is also a snack bar and pizza bar, but the promenade of Frejus and St Raphael are the most popular eating places. We like Roma on the Frejus/St Raphael border, where in the height of summer you will often hear a group playing nearby. Port Frejus is not far away, where many restaurants specialising in sea food can be found. The fireworks at 10am are a bonus at week ends. The reception area is open 24 hours and is very helpful. The camp site shops are good and the bread and croissants from the supermarket are popular in the morning. We have a mid size bike which you can use to ride if you do not fancy the 10 minute walk from the mobile home (please check the brakes etc before using the bicycle, and do not use it on the main roads). Banks can be found in the Roman town of Frejus, and ATM's are available. There is an Aqua park in Frejus by the beach ( 3 miles), and hire of pedalos, canoes can be found on the beaches. You can also hire the speed boats for water skiing or paragliding. We would recommend a boat trip to St Tropez from either St Raphael or St Maxime. Walking along the sea front of Nice and Cannes are always a great experience, and a night at the Hippodrome in between Cannes and Nice for pony and trap racing is good fun. A good meal can be bought in the restaurant with lovely views out to the sea across the race circuit. Entrance is about £5. Shopping is available in many areas but there is a Gallery Laffayette in Nice at Cap 2000, next to the airport. If you would like to venture further afield the Gorge de Verdon ( 90 minutes), which is inland, is impressive, or you could travel an hour into Italy, through Monaco and the Victorian style town of Menton for the Italian market at Ventimiglia, or a little further to St Remo.

Guest comments
Alan and Christine from Timperley Cheshire said they love the peace and quiet in such a beautiful and restful environment. 'Our 2 year old grandson loved the pools and he started to learn to swim. We will be back.'
Graham and Sue from Blackpool said 'We were really pleased with the van, it was very well equipped. People were envious of me having a washing machine! The teenage children loved everything about it and in particular the disco and night life. They made plenty of new friends from all over the world.'
