General Overview

I am a retired teacher having lived in Provence for over thirty years My "Mas" style provençal home is on a five star golf course with pools , tennis courts and fantastic walks.. With an open plan dining cum sitting room and kitchen it is easy to live in and comfortable. Three upstairs bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom, the other two are served by a shower room and toilet. There's also a downstairs toilet. The back and front gardens and surrounding greenery are the joy of my life. It is also a Spa resort where you can enjoy a 15m indoor heated pool, jacuzzis, Turkish bath and sauna. Massage and facials are also on option.We are half-way between the old city of Draguignan and the seaside town of Sainte Maxime with its 15 minute ferry to Saint Tropez. Cannes is half an hour away, Nice Airport 45 minutes. I am looking for a long term exchange from mid June to mid August 2026, in London, the South East Coast of England and Ireland. Shorter exchanges October and February 2026.

The Space

My tastes go from reading to art to golf and swimming and my (very personal) style of decorating reflects this. Be prepared for 'busy'...

Guest Access

Ground floor One flight of stairs, with three bedrooms, bath and shower rooms and two toilets on the first floor.

Notes

Top class restaurant with wonderful views at the Golf Clubhouse serving breakfast dinner and lunch if required. Small gate access to the Spa area through the back garden.

Neighbourhood

At two kms you have La Motte with a small supermarket, a renonwned bakery and a delicatessen plus two restaurants and an archaelogical and 'local memory' museum La Motte was the first village of Provence to be liberated in August 1944 (often called the other D day) - the Parachute Memorial is just next door to the Golf Club, where General Robert Frederick and his commandos dropped. Two bronze statues were installed recently, one a tribute to Frederick for the 80th anniversary of the landings, the other a tribute to the French resistance last May, for the 80th of VE Day.. For museums and art galleries, restaurants, bistros and cafés Draguignan is only twenty minutes away - archaeological and 'mémoire locale' museums in our village plus restaurants and a Friday morning market and Le Muy (5 minutes) has excellent water sports facilities on the river Argens, plus shops, restaurants and all you need. A little further afield you have the Gulf of Saint Tropez, with a ferry service from Ste Maxime which will get you to St Tropez in 15 minutes, or off peak you can drive which will take you 30 minites. Cannes is 30 minutes down the A8 motorway and Nice just under an hour.

Getting to my home

To get here you can fly, drive or even get the Eurostar to Marseille (in the summer) then a connection to Les Arcs-Draguignan. Off peak Eurostar to Paris and connection to Les Arcs.

Nearest airport

The nearest airport is Nice and at 70 kms takes just under an hour to get there.

Getting Around

the old provençal city of Draguignan is the nearest large local town to the east Cannes and Nice, to the west Aix en Provence and Marseille all very accessible by train or car. Aix is a 45 minute drive and a wonderful old city.
