Villeneuve-Loubet, a family destination
on the French Riviera

A family destination Villeneuve-Loubet is a true holiday village, with many possibilities for sports and leisure activities for children and teenagers. The Mediterranean is ideal for bathing and all nautical activities accessible to children, as long as they know how to swim. Nature offers lots of thrills with an adventure trail, Le Bois des Lutins (imps’ wood), and the Labyrinthe Végétal (garden maze), without omitting all the facilities in the superb leafy setting: horseback riding, tennis and golf. For each week of school holidays, there is a programme of children’s activities! Villeneuve-Loubet is perfect for the whole family.  Details at ot-villeneuveloubet.org

On the beach Taking advantage of the sea in all seasons is one of the great privileges offered by the Mediterranean climate. The Yacht Club provides the joys of light sailing: dinghy, catamaran, windsurfing… Three nautical centres provide sport, fun and excitement with jet skis, waterskiing, parascending, ski tubing or jet ski trekking… In the middle of the 4 kilometres of Villeneuve-Loubet’s coastline, around the yachting harbour, looms the familiar silhouette of Marina Baie des Anges. A suggestion: discover this 20th-century architectural heritage thanks to guided tours organized by the Tourist Bureau.  Details at ot-villeneuveloubet.org

In the village Villeneuve-Loubet offers its visitors an exceptional natural heritage with two départemental parks, ideal both for a breather and to discover the flora and fauna thanks to an interpretation trail. Here, in the heart of Nature on the French Riviera, just a stone’s throw from the shore, what a joy it is to be in an authentic Provençal village with its little squares, restaurants, small shops and flower-decked balconies! A tip: as you stroll through the streets, have a look at the museums and church, and take the time for a pleasant walk along the Loup River.  Details at ot-villeneuveloubet.org

Gourmet holidays In Villeneuve-Loubet, the birthplace of the great Chef Auguste Escoffier, holidays are necessarily gastronomic! In the family home of the “King of Chefs and Chef of Kings”, the Auguste Escoffier Foundation has set up a museum of culinary arts that is unique in France. A must! In the first days of August, the village of Villeneuve-Loubet is dedicated to gastronomy with its Fêtes Gourmandes that, over the years, have become the rendezvous for gourmets. Year round, everyone can savour the joys of good eating, take time for lunch in the sun on La Croisette de Marina or dinner in the quiet atmosphere of the village…  Details at www.ot-villeneuveloubet.org
