Valbonne Tourist Information
Valbonne Tourist Information
Take the 630 bus to Valbonne, a medieval village inland from Cannes, beloved by the Brits since Princess Margaret holidayed there in the early Sixties. Many still own homes in the surrounding area but don’t let that put you off!
The village architecture is lovely - the place des Arcades was built in 1628 by Cistercian monks according to plans based on a Roman camp chosen by Dom Antoine Taxil in 1519.
