You’ll find lots of nightlife in the summer months when the town comes alive with casinos, bars and night clubs but if you’re looking for a more laid back approach there are plenty of good restaurants and cafes. Head to the weekly Farmer’s market on a Thursday morning to pick up some lovely local produce.

Other outdoor activities in the region include tennis, golf, mini - golf, horse - riding, go - karting, polo and an outdoor cinema in the summer months.

Head inland to the delightful Bormes - les - Mimosas (8km), a little gem in the hills, well - known for being full of colourful flowers, pretty stone walled houses and a quiet ambience of village life.
