Domaine du Foulon - luxury Provencal mansion sleeps 12-18 in Alpes-Maritimes

Only 40 minutes drive from Nice International Airport Le Foulon is a
grand residence with beautiful mountain panoramas from every window.
Well connected for day trips to all the Cote d'Azur has to offer
(Monaco, Nice, Antibes, Cannes etc), but secluded enough to be as
restful as you wish.
We offer space for all - with a very large lounge and dining area,
separate library and adjoining double height conservatory, large
barbecue deck and a 36ft heated pool. Not to mention 15 acres of river
fronted countryside and long country walks from our doorstep.
Rent the whole property with as little as 12 people and enjoy cooking
in a large semi-commercial kitchen. Alternatively visit Le Foulon as a
b&b and experience fine food and wine, plus good company, all served
by your relaxed English hosts.
We even offer very good value 3 night weekend breaks for 12-18 people.
And a luxury French mansion won't cost a fortune - low season prices
for 18 people self-catering cost as little as €28 per person per night.
Our bed and breakfast rates are from €100 per night for two people
including a fine continental breakfast with fresh pastries delivered
daily by Patrick the local baker (a great service our self-catered
guests can take advantage of too).
Nearby you are met with warm smiles from locals not saturated with
tourists, despite our proximity to the Riviera. Medeival villages cook
up Provencal specialities enjoyed by locals and visitors alike, there
are a host of adventure activities to hand, from beginners canyoning
through white water rapids to tandem paragliding jumps. Rock climbing
to karting and during a short Winter season even skiing just 20
minutes drive away, with the reward of a view down to the Mediterranean.
Sounds like everything you could wish for? So did we, which is why we
left our UK careers and have spent the last 5 years bringing this gem
of a property up to the high standard it is today.
