This twin community lies on the Esterel coast near Cannes. The scenery along this part of the Riviera consists of startling red cliffs and rocky coves backed by forests of pine and cork oak. Some way inland, amid wooded hills, Mandelieu is a premier golfing resort, while coastal La Napoule is a station nautique with excellent sailing and water sports facilities. A February festival celebrates the mimosa that flowers here so profusely.
