9km north of Cagnes sur Mer on the D18.
La Gaude is located on a small ridge between Vence and Nice and set in generous mediterranean vegetation. This once agricultural village is today a pleasant residential area. The Baronne neighbourhood on the banks of the Var river is a large complex specializing as a research center in I.T. agricultural economy and horticulture.
The former château of the Marquis de La Gaude, first abandoned and fallen
into ruins after the Revolution, has been recently restored by its new owners.
This imposing (private) building dominates the village but is not available
for visits.
Walk down the small paved streets of the village, and you'll discover beautiful
façades of houses which have been delicately restored. You're sure to
fall under the spell of the charm and provencal atmosphere of the village, in
the same way as Marcel Pagnol, the famous, illustrious (and mythical) author/film
maker who lived here for 30 years, much to the pride of the local residents.
For the whole of his life Marcel Pagnol celebrated his birthplace "la Provence", and knew how to recount its different facets with emotion, humour and poetry. A festival is dedicated to him each year at the beginning of August where you'll be pleased to re-acquaint yourself with Jean de Florette, Manon des Sources, Le Château de ma Mère or even the Femme du Boulanger...if we just mention the most famous works...
