Luxury property for sale


All the way down in the south east of France along the Mediterranean, and next to the Italian border, are the Maritime Alps and the world renowned Côte d'Azur.
What makes this departement so beautiful is its craggy coastline with the Alps plunging straight down in the blue sea. At certain times of the year one can even have the difficult choice of whether to ski or to swim.
The slopes and the sea are merely an hour apart by car. The sun is legendary shining 320 days a year.
