In filling out this description they ask, why this location? My answer is why not? You are in a sunny and warm place that has great wine, great food, plenty of forests, and a spectacular beach.
I remember living on the Cote D'Azur walking along the beach in the winter. A gentleman said good day and he noticed how our dogs liked the beaches of Cannes. I told him how nice it was here. He looked at me and asked have you ever been in the Sudouest? I said no. He laughed and said, "if you want real beaches with real water and not this pond then go visit there." I never understood that and 17 years later I get it.
