The Cote d'Azur lifestyle

Just a short note to say we're still alive at RHF, we're working very hard finding homes for various clients... Luckily this hard work takes place in the South of France, and a girl has to have lunch on the beach from time to time - with or without clients, feet in the sand, sun on your hair - and I am talking end October !! I made the aquarelle above (the beach of Golfe Juan) a week ago... isn't it wonderful over here!
If you are in the rain and the cold in the North thinking "wish I was there"... don't hesitate to give us a call - we have the properties to go with your your longing for the Côte d'Azur lifestyle!

La Garde Freinet

I have been painting a very nice house with a great view, in La Garde Freinet!
La Garde-Freinet is a nice old town, 20 kilometers from St Tropez. Pleasant, typical South-French, with lots of shops and restaurants. The old part of the village is built in the 16th century. There you'll find the romantic, narrow little streets, sometimes carved through the rocks. Near la Garde Freinet were - and are - chestnut groves. The town is popular by the locals and people from nearby villages as well as tourists, for their local chestnut jam (confiture marron) and chestnut honey (miel chataignier). You can buy them at the famous "Confiturerie des Gambades".
