There is a huge park known as Parc de la Valmasque of 561 hectares that expends from Mougins to Valbonne. Many people drive to the park to hike through its forest or to simply to go long walks with their pet.
Valbonne, bordering the river La Brague, is a charming French village that contrast from other traditionally perched villages on the Riviera. Monks designed the village a few centuries ago with straight alley ways and streets, giving the village an unusual rectangular shape. A lot of international families choose to settle down in this area, Wretman Estate offers several houses and villas for sale in Valbonne.
