This spacious apartment is just five minutes walk from the famous, covered and colourful Marché Forville, open six days a week from very early until lunch time for all fresh produce from vegetables and fruit to fish, meats, cheeses, home made pastas, preserves and tapinades, and flowers. (On Mondays their only day off it is an antique market.) Most weekends Vicky and I do our shopping there, and then reward ourselves with a glass of cold rosé or bubbly, and a plate of oysters at one of the many pavement establishments around the square. This is the French doing what they do best! The apartment is therefore also just about eight minutes walk to the Palais des Festivals, the Old Port and the Croisette, all just below Marché Forville. Also just below the apartment is the Old Town of Le Suquet, with its many classic and wonderful restaurants, some of them open since the late 1800’s. Pedestrian Rue St Antoine which runs up the hill towards the Old City walls from Forville is a gourmet’s paradise, and throbs with life and character particularly in the evenings when the tables spill out onto the cobbled street.

The apartment has been completely renovated, and as it stands one bedroom has been taken over as a living room, and the living room as a dining room. The kitchen opens onto the dining room and (would be) living room and the two bedrooms are large with lovely high ceilings. The current owner has taken a lot of time and trouble to polish and retain the original hexagonal Provencal red brick floor tiles in bedrooms, parquet in living room, and to scrape down the original wooden doors, and has created a lovely bathroom with a separate shower. It is all very attractively done.

There is a small balcony which has a lovely view across town from a high position, and a small view of the sea in the south west (the bay towards La Napoule, Theoule and the Esterel Hills)

The apartment is double glazed, has a cellar in the basement, and generous stairs in a clean and well kept building – no lift. (Being on the second floor with good wide stairs this is not seen as a problem). It has windows on three walls allowing a through current of air, so it is very fresh, light and cool.
