Photo Gallery

Le Moineau is situated on the side of a delightful hillside overlooking the gorge de Loup. It is approached down a long quiet road in a secluded and tranquil position.

Bar sur Loup which is some five minutes away by car is a pretty hilltop village with stunning views over the gorge. There are shops, hotel and bar here and there is more comprehensive shopping at Pre du Lac which is also approximately five minutes away. However the creme de la creme of shopping is to be done at Valbonne which is a superb large village with weekly market, and an excellent range of food shops, craft shops and several very good restaurants, this is some 10 minutes away by car. The coast and Nice airport are both 30 minutes away. For the winter sport enthusiasts good skiing can also be had in under an hours journey.

Le Moineau is available throughout the year - prices from £1000 per week.

"We've had a wonderful relaxing time here at 'Le Moineau'- the pool was a welcome respite from the two week heatwave.
All the local hilltop villages are extremely pretty, especially St Paul. The Friday market at Valbonne is a good one and there are plenty of places to eat in and around the square.
We didn't see the fireflies but we believe there have been wild boar in the garden a few times, snuffling through the undergrowth in the evening - The Tolans (Berkshire)"
