La Marjolaine - Luxury Apartments in the Heart of Montauroux

These 12 prestigious apartments, complete with swimming pool and 30,000 sq ft private garden enjoy exceptional surroundings in the village of Montauroux. They are due for completion in December 2005.

The property being converted is an existing house set in beautiful scenery. It will be completely restored and re-designed. The property consists of 12 apartments. Each apartment has a terrace and each offers a magnificent view. They range in price from £121,700 (177,650 euro) to £308,000 (449,350 euro).

All floors are served by elevator, with heating and air-conditioning in each apartment. Locked garages are also provided as an option.

Montauroux is located to the north of St Tropez, near to the Alpes-Maritimes, between Draguignan and Grasse. The village perches on a hill top and has a rich historical past, having been built in the 13th Century. It has retained its small roads, old houses, Roman church and magnificent chapel which has recently been restored with the assistance of Christian Dior - one of the village's most famous residents.

Montauroux rises in tiers of altitudes from 150m to 400m, its woods forming a unique natural environment. Located halfway between the sea at 30kms and the first ski resort at 40 kms, Montauroux benefits from an exceptional 280 days of sunshine each year!

It has a southerly climate, facing the Esterel mountain and is also home to the best gliding club in Europe. Founded in 1935, here you will see sailplanes from across France and other European countries.

Nearby Lake St Cassien is the jewel of the Var department, set in the heart of the superb Esterelle Massif. The lake is one of the most attractive assets of the hinterland and its steep banks have been transformed into small creeks and grottos - a delight for swimmers. Other activities include boating, fishing and horse riding.

The lake is bordered almost completely by forested hills, and the shoreline - stretching for 7 kilometres north-south with an east-west section of 3 kilometres - is undeveloped, leaving its beauty for all to enjoy.

The area is naturally a haven for walkers and cyclists and offers some breath-taking scenery, not least at the nearby Grand Canyon de Verdon.

Montauroux may have all the attributes of a picturesque medieval village, but is is well located for the glamour of the Cote d'Azur. Within easy reach for day trips lie Nice - capital of the Cote d'Azur; Antibes - quaint and very English; Cannes - a shopper's paradise and St Tropez, one of the most glamorous towns in the world.

Eating and drinking on shady terraces is a central part of life in Provence, and this area abounds with excellent but inexpensive restaurants for those seeking a true taste of Provencal life.
