A-list celebrity spotting in Cannes or village life in Provence

Two exciting new and contrasting South of France property opportunities are now being offered by A Place in France. Apartments in Cannes are ideal for those film buffs wanting to catch a glimpse of the likes of the Pitts, Blanchett or Cruz while real value for money villas in the hills of Provence will attract buyers looking for idyllic French village life.

Cannes is a most sort after location with a strong property market and A Place in France’s 12 one to four bedroomed apartments are being built in the elegant, leafy quarter of La Californie, home to some of the most luxurious properties in the iconic resort. The development is only minutes from the town centre and the famous La Croisette seafront promenade, home to the world famous Cannes Film Festival. Nice airport is 30 minutes away and prices start from €340,000 for the apartments which will be ready for delivery in September 2011.

In contrast the new villa development at characterful Bagnols-en-Foret offers the chance to join life in a hilltop village full of tradition and history, all set in a stunningly beautiful and romantic environment. The 40 three and four bedroomed villas offer incredible value for money with prices starting at €320,000. Each villa is sited on a 1500m2 plot and there are four designs available offering versatile family accommodation in one level, bungalow type lay outs or on ground and upper floor traditional levels.

Bagnols-en-Foret is in an area of outstanding natural beauty with fine views, yet it is close to two good golf courses and a lakeside leisure centre. Nice airport is less than one hour away and the TGV station at St Raphael is only 30 minutes drive
