Set in the "arrière pays", the area inland of the French Riviera's famous coastline, Valbonne is a location popular with both locals and holiday makers. Boasting an international feel, a genuine French lifestyle in a historic centre relatively unchanged since the 16th century, a vibrant community and international schools, the location ticks many boxes.

These amenities and positive aspects add a more contemporary explanation of why this charming location is considered "the good valley." Set on the banks on the River Brage, amidst a lush green valley rich in both history and culture, dotted with attractive towns and spacious villas, the location truly lives up to its historic name. By pure coincidence, this excellent setting ensures both beach addicts and ski fanatics are content, as Valbonne is ideally located approximately 12km north of Cannes and an approximate 90 minute drive from the popular ski resorts of Isola and Auron.

Valbonne is very much a hub of distinctive towns throughout the French Riviera hinterland, including Grasse, Mougins, Biot and Mouans-Sartoux to name a few. Yet, the bustling atmosphere and historic setting of Valbonne keeps people returning in addition to the opportunities for international commerce, a result of the proximity to Sophia Antipolis, often referred to as the Silicon Valley of France, boasting a wealth of start-ups, numerous multinational businesses plus well respected research and university-led teaching.

The name Sophia is a nod to the Riviera’s historical Greek links. Meaning wise in Greek, we couldn't agree more, as the selection of properties below shows, Valbonne and the local vicinity including Sophia Antipolis provide residents with a truly varied range of properties in a location from which residents can enjoy the very best the French Riviera has to offer.
