About Mandelieu
Mandelieu-la-Napoule sits just south-west of Cannes, with Théoule-sur-Mer beyond it on the coast. It is a town of over 20,000 people with its own regional railway station. The homes are in Mandelieu itself. In La Napoule, the Château de la Napoule stands right on the shore, a castle built in 1387 and restored by the American artist Henry Clews and his wife Marie after he bought it in 1917. There is a beach a short walk from the château. The Esterel is a volcanic massif of red rock, with hikes of an hour and a half to four and a half hours.
