Experience historical Provence
The area surrounding the lovely medieval village Montauroux, to which the Dior family, among others, has strong historical connections, is complemented with beautiful scenery. But at the same time, the village has a central geographical position for excursions to the Mediterranean Sea and the many picturesque mountain villages in the area. Two of the best golf courses in Provence are also close by.
The lake Lac St. Cassien is right next door! The lake is filled with clean water (fresh water reservoir) and offers many activities such as surfing, canoeing, water cycles and fishing to name a few.
