Valbonne is in the hinterland of Alpes-Maritimes, between the Provençal hills and the coast. The commune brings together the old village, with its narrow streets and squares, and Sophia Antipolis, a large business and research hub set in a wooded landscape. This dual character suits business stays as well as visits that combine village sightseeing, walks in nature and days by the sea.

Parc des Bouillides and Parc de la Brague offer walking routes in a wooded setting; the former is 570 m away. Valbonne Sophia Antipolis bus station is 1.6 km away. By car, Antibes offers the chance to explore its ramparts and Musée Picasso, housed in Château Grimaldi. Cannes draws visitors with La Croisette, its beaches and the Suquet district. In Grasse, Musée International de la Parfumerie traces the history of this regional industry. The coast’s beaches are accessible from Valbonne, including those at Vaugrenier and Juan-les-Pins.

Spring and autumn are well suited to walks in the hinterland, when temperatures are mild. In summer, you can spend one day on the coast and another among Valbonne’s narrow streets or on the trails of the Brague. Travelling by car makes it easier to take trips between the villages, beaches and nearby towns; allow time for traffic and parking when visiting Cannes or Antibes during busy periods.
