Am I right here, no kidding? The last 200 meters, a dusty path next to some half-ready apartment houses (no 4WD required, though) seem to suggest that you're lost your way. But once the gate opens, everything changes and you find yourself in a place you do not want to leave ever again - not even for the classical day trips to St. Tropez or Monaco. Well, for the nearby Cannes beaches or their film carnival, maybe. Better to go by car, as part of the curvy streets are a bit 'special experience' for pedestrians ;-) Very nice garden, big pool, two terraces, nice room with foldout and kitchenette. Just don't bring too many cubic meters of luggage per person if you are not travelling alone. Nearby Intermarché has everything on stock - even special adhesives for ... a small broken plastic item. Great surroundings, excellent operation base and - best of all - super friendly and discreet owners. For the less adventurous traveller, it could be a good idea to make an appointment with the landlord at Vallauris, to make sure you get to the studio smoothly and without shouting at your innocent TomTom. "I'll be back", sayz Arnie. Me, too. salutations cordiales de Cologne-sur-Rhin, Thomas
