To get there follow the magnificent Corniche d’Or westward from Cannes for 20 minutes, past the lovely and lively seaside villages of La Napoule and Mandelieu, over the hill and through gorgeous Theoule-sur-Mer with its quaint white beaches – up and over again to where the blood-red Esterel Mountain range plunges into the sea at Cap Roux – Le Trayas and Antheor sit comfortably at the foot of this rugged terrain. There are a succession of protected, sometimes isolated coves and beaches mixing dramatic Mediterranean colours and the astonishing contrasts of the white sands, the red rocks and the deep blue sea. As one takes the steep roads up from the coast and the beach-front of le Trayas into the area famous for some of the most beautiful second homes and villas on the Cote d’Azur, the panoramic views from every vantage point and twist in the road are some of the most spectacular in the region. Nice airport is only 32 kms away and Frejus just 15, and connection to the A8 motorway is very quick and easy. This is a very popular area for French and non-French people looking to buy a home on the French Riviera .
Agay is a glorious and very popular little village, in a beautiful natural bay, ringed by the Esterel Mountains. The bay is about a kilometre wide and encompasses two wonderful sandy beaches. Historically, it is certain is that there have been people living on the Cote d'Azur for thousands of years and relics around the Bay of Agay show the presence of prehistoric settlements in the area. It is presumed that Greek sailors founded the town itself some 500 B.C. and a number of remains from Greek, Etruscan and Carthaginian maritime traders have been found by archaeological researchers in the waters around Agay and Le Dramont. What has been an important factor through the centuries is that Agay was only reachable by sea. The first road along the Corniche d'Or was constructed in the beginning of the 20th century when from 1900-1903 a road (the RN98) and the railway from Saint-Raphäel to Cannes were built. The Agay of today however is a lovely village very popular among tourists; its undeniable character and seductively quiet atmosphere preserved. The beaches are pristine and the sea temperature never gets much below 14°C keeping the bay remarkably warm in winter (where temperatures seldom fall below 10°C). Add to that lovely restaurants, boutique hotels, delightful local shops, and the fact that on Wednesdays the market comes to town, and in the evenings in summer a bustling antique market fills the little streets, and the picture becomes alluring and complete. Inland from Agay is the Foret d'Esterel, a natural forest of 100 square kilometres, and rising beyond that are the natural shield of Esterel Mountains famous for the remarkable red rocks which form them. Agay is a jewel on the Mediterranean, and has a great deal to offer. ANTHEOR: Anthéor in the department of the Var lies on the rugged and extraordinary coastline between St Raphael and Cannes, hugging the precipitous red cliffs and mountain sides east of the Bay of Agay. The views across the Mediterranean and of the exquisite coastline with its multitude of sea-colours and shades of turquoise and blue are breathtaking. For this reason the properties for sale in Anthéor generally come with “a view to die for”. When the writer Stéphen Liégeard coined the phrase by titling his 1887 book “La Côte d’Azur”, substituting the azure-blue colour of the Mediterranean for the gold of Côte-d'Or, he must surely have been writing from Anthéor. Everything is beautiful – the landscape, nearby beaches, the proximate resorts, the climate, and even the people of the Var. With 341,000 hectares of forest, the Var is the second most wooded department of France after Landes and its coastline of fine sand, rocky caps and wild creeks, and magnificent natural wonders including the Canyons of Verdon, the largest and deepest in Europe, make it amongst the most spectacular of all departments. Long warm summers and mild winters are just the final reasons that Anthéor has become a very popular place for people searching for their second home on the Cote d’Azur.
Sainte-Maxime is a charming seaside town in the department of the Var on the French Riviera just 90 km from Nice and 130 km from Marseille. It faces south at the northern shore of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and is well protected from the cold winds of the Mistral by the mountain range known as the Massif des Maures. She was founded around 1000 AD by the Monks from the Lérins Islands off Cannes who built a monastery there. Fishing was the mainstay for the inhabitants but during the early 19th century increasing amounts of lumber, cork, olive oil and wine were shipped to Marseilles and to Italy. The village grew and in the 20th century it started to attract artists, poets and writers who enjoyed the climate, the beautiful surroundings and the azure blue water. In front of the old town is the characteristic tower - La Tour Carrée - built by the monks in the early 16th century to protect the village and the Bay of St Tropez from invaders. In August 1944, the beaches of Sainte Maxime were at the centre of Operation Dragoon designed to liberate Southern France from the Nazis. There was house to house fighting before the Germans were decimated and eventually gave up. On the harbour pier and by La Garonette beach there are memorials at the landing places honouring the US troops involved in that action. Today tourism has overtaken agriculture as the largest source of revenue for Sainte Maxime and the town is very much alive all year round with its Old Town, with shops, markets, restaurants, bars and cafés and a bustling harbour with fast boats available to take you to Les Issambres, St Tropez and Port Grimaud. In addition to the town’s sandy beaches there are the Blue Flag supervised ones, a sailing school, water-skiing and jet-ski activities. In total St Maxime offers 10 km of public accessible shoreline, and there are 8 golf courses within 30 minutes by car. Property in Sainte-Maxime is sought after and there are charming town-houses, modern villas with spectacular views, and holiday apartments to tempt investors of all persuasions.
