LOCATION
La roquette-sur-siagne is a small authentic village located in the alpes-maritimes (provence region) in the south-east of france. living there allows you to be in a nice peaceful countryside setting that comes with a good quality of life, while being only 10 km away from the beach and events in cannes. the village is also only 25 minutes away from nice airport and 15 minutes from sophia antipolis.
La roquette sur siagne consists of two “neighborhoods”: the old town (around the place josé thomas) and the more recent part la roquette saint jean. as you go down the hill to saint jean, the village is very different with wider streets and many new buildings. the newer part of the village is closer to the city pegomas and has a wide range of businesses as well as the town hall, tennis club and stadium. the old town does include very useful daily life businesses such as a bakery, pharmacy, café, post office as well as general practitioners. living there gets you faster to mouans sartoux. |
Daily life
La roquette has plenty of activities with many associations and festivals.
The “village people” is an association that regularly organizes concerts, suppers, wine tastings, etc. You’ll find lots of village people during the annual “pistou night” that happens in the “maison des associations” on the old village square. This particular group includes a lot of foreigners who were all welcomed and charmed by the friendliness and openness of the village inhabitants. Every wednesday, you’ll get a chance to shop from local farmers at the weekly food and vegetable market on the old square. If you’re lucky to live within walking distance from there, you’ll enjoy heading to the bakery to buy your morning croissants or your warm bread while enjoying the rays of sunshine on your face and listening to the cicadas. Take a walk in the forest from the old village and head to the lanteri farm to buy some ewe cheese. You might be surprised the first time you get stuck on the road by their flock of sheeps being lead to a different field or setting off on the annual transhumance. |
