Antibes
Last week I met with my favourite RHF colleague Elayne - from the Luberon area -in Antibes. I hadn't been there for a while and forgot how great it was! City-like feel, combined with that authentic South of France look and smell. We were having lunch close to the sea and the marina, on a terrace in the sun, and had a terrific warm-chèvre-with-honey salad for her and a mozza for me -and a glass of rosé of course (this is France remember - it's what we do...) while we did our shop-talk... Afterwards we had some time left to go to the English bookshop in the centre (Elayne's real reason behind wanting to meet up in Antibes). Antibes is pretty English-oriented, I guess also because of all the boat people that are there - Antibes has a famous old port, the Port Vauban, which also hosts the "Voiles d'Antibes" next week. I'll come back to that one as I am part of the RHF-crew sailing on one of the beautiful classics Adria!! (here in rest - but wait until she's racing...)
Anyway - Antibes is more than worth a visit, a beautiful old town with its fortifications along the coast, tiny streets with shops selling all sorts of curiosa, terraces, an Irish pub with long happy hours and a fantastic "antiques" market. And if you'd like to stay longer, or even permanently, look us up - we have great houses for sale in Antibes!

As you can see on the pictures it is built of real dry stone, it has class and style, while being comfortable and contemporary. In total it has 320 m² living space on a terrain
Cool on the inside, beautiful on the outside, surrounded by century old olive trees. A great place to live - and I know what I'm talking about as it happens to be where my home is too...
And you know what? RHF has an exceptional, completely renovated 17th century bastide for sale in Aubagne! It has over 1.3 hectares of landscaped gardens, olive and fruit trees, and is surrounded by non constructible lands. In total there is a whopping 710 m² living space, two fully equipped kitchens, a large bureau, two living rooms, a dining room, a study/library and eight bedrooms with their en-suite bathrooms, done up in Italian style, large, open and filled with light.
