South east of Grasse and north of Mandelieu La Napoule liesthe Provencal village of le Tignet. Whilst only 25 minutes drive from Cannes,this village could not be different. It is quiet with flowing hills,cypress trees, olive trees and nestling in the sunny hills below the Southern Alps. It has Roman history and origins going back to pre-Roman timesas well. It was a staging post for the Romans who built a camp here, but thelack of water made it non permanent. In the 12th century the village was fortified and ny the 14thcentury, the monks who inhabited the Isle De Lerins had helped to make Le Tignet a hugefarm. You can still see today the terracing that undertaken by the monksand during this period the village thrived trading with Grasse and Draguignon. The Plague finished all that in around 1348. It was devastating forthe area wiping out a good number of villages completely and le Tignet sufferedgreatly. Itremained uninhabited from 1350 to 1699 when it was gradually re inhabited, buteven by 1918 there were only about 120 people registered as living in thecommune. All that has changed now with over 3000 attracted to the warmsunshine, the typical Provencal lifestyle and its proximity to Grasse andCannes. Cannes is an easy drive away and an even easiertrip if you drive to Grasse and take the train. Nowadays the passenger line takesprecedence over what was an industrial line, built originally at the turn of thecentury to allow the perfume manufactures of Grasse to more easily move their products out of Grasse. Sadly it fell into disrepair duringthe Second World War, and was only reopened in 2005as a passenger service. That allows people in the areaccess not only to Cannes, a mere 25 minutes away, but the train links in tothe main coastal network to give access to many of the wonderful Coted'Azur beaches such as Golfe Juan or Juan Les Pins, plus Cannes, Nice, Antibes, and even acrossthe border to Italy to collect those smelly cheeses and that special olive oil. Grasse still has some of the perfume manufacturers inresidence and tours to see how it is all done still run throughout theyear. Cannes however has a great deal to offer. The shopping alongLa Croissette is world class withall the major designer labels with outlets. More shopping is availablefor mere mortals, and the beach restaurants are renowned throughout the world. The Old Town of Cannes is especially attractive after dark, when hoardsof visitors and locals swarm up Rue St Antoine to the oldtown to find a restaurant or just to take in the atmosphere. Staying in Le Tignet at a hotel may not be possible oradvisable. To enjoy best the local amenities you maybe better off looking to rent a private holiday villa witha swimming pool. These are much more available than you might think,particularly in the summer time of July and August, as many of the locals take the opportunity torent our their houses and to go on holiday themselves although why they would want to leavewhat may be one of the ultimate holiday destinations escapes me! Several agencies inthe area specialise in renting out properties and many of these are Englishspeaking or maybe even an ex pat. This makes it easier than trusting yourdodgy French and with the prospect of great views and space to move aroundplus that swimming pool, it can be much more comfortable than ahotel. To get to Le Tignet, a caris recommended. Nice airport is just 30 minutes drive andserves destinations throughout Europe and the UK and beyond.
