A renown beach resort located 5 miles from Cannes at the base of the Tanneron-Massif and mouth of the Siagne River, Mandelieu-La-Napoule affords all the modern delights.

Take your pick from discos, tennis, several night clubs, golf, hiking trails, horseback riding, several sports harbors, mountain bike riding, archery and a casino at the surf.

Mandelieu-La-Napoule, known as the "mimosa capital" can be overlooked due to its close proximity to the larger, flashier Cannes.
