The French Riviera is a beautiful area that is anything but undeveloped and empty. Its beauty has been attracting vacationers, second home owners and new arrivals for more than 100 years, resulting in an enormous amount of new construction. The changes are noticeable from year to year. Nevertheless, the beauty of nature, the climate and the radiant light are something special, from which, I think, no one can escape. And this is only the beginning, because there is so much to love here.
But: with the rapid spread of urban life, can there really still be secret places? - Villages that the tourist masses have not yet discovered and yet are only a few kilometers from the coast?
The answer is a clear yes.
We visited the village and take you on our short walk through La Colle sur Loup.
It's not on any tourist map, but it's not off the beaten path either. In fact, it's the same distance to Nice or Grasse, and it's right next to Cagnes sur Mer. That's important for campers with caravans or motorhomes larger than "huggies." The back roads leading here from Grasse are definitely too narrow! Camping Les Pinèdes is a four-star site that we looked at and will probably be our domicile on our next visit to the Côte d'Azur.
The village is honestly not so spectacular that if you stay only a few days here, you must not necessarily come here. However, a highly interesting aspect, especially for campers, is the proximity to the sea, the proximity to places like Grasse, Nice, Antibes, etc. and then it is also worth taking the time to stroll for a while on the village's pedestrian streets and enjoy the tranquility of a charming, truly authentic Provençal village and get to know the new for-a-while-neighbors closer.
