Roquefort-les-Pins: Provençal houses under umbrella pines and olive trees

Roquefort-les-Pins, the plateau under the pines

Between Villeneuve-Loubet and Valbonne, on a plateau covered with umbrella pines and oaks, Roquefort-les-Pins is a municipality of villas, guest houses and gardens, quiet and green, a quarter of an hour from the sea, the airport and Sophia Antipolis. People come here to sleep in the cool near the technology park, to stay with the family away from the coast, or to radiate out to Valbonne, Saint-Paul and the gorges du Loup.

Things to do

  • Valbonne and its place des Arcades. Ten minutes away, the 16th-century village with its grid plan, its arcaded square, its terraces, its Friday market and its restaurants: the most pleasant of the villages behind Sophia. On request from Roquefort.
  • Sophia Antipolis. The technology park, its companies, its schools and its hotels, between pine forest and golf course: Roquefort is the closest residential municipality for a quiet business stay. Addresses in Sophia are outside the fixed fares, on request.
  • Golf. The La Vanade golf course, in Villeneuve-Loubet, and the Opio-Valbonne and Biot courses, less than a quarter of an hour away: three eighteen-hole courses among the pines and olive trees.
  • The gorges du Loup and Tourrettes-sur-Loup. Twenty minutes away, the river, its waterfalls, its sweet shops, and the village of violets perched on its rock. Half a day of hinterland, on request.
  • Saint-Paul-de-Vence and Vence. The art villages, the Maeght foundation and the Matisse chapel, a quarter of an hour away via La Colle-sur-Loup. Each has its own fare from Nice.
  • Food. The restaurants of the centre and the country inns of Roquefort, the tables of Valbonne, and the producers of the Wednesday and Saturday markets.

When to come

Winter

The absolute calm of the plateau, the lanes under the pines, the fireplaces of the guest houses. The season for business stays in Sophia, away from the bustle of the coast.

Spring

The pine forest and the gardens in bloom, the markets, walks towards the Loup. The best time for a family stay between villages and sea.

Summer

The coolness of the shade of the pines, a few degrees less than the coast, the village festivities in August, the villa pools. Plan the pick-up early in the morning, when the motorway is clear.

Autumn

Mushrooms in the woods, soft light on the plateau, the neighbouring villages handed back to their residents. Roquefort returns to its rhythm in September.
