Le Foulon

Le Foulon - Dog Friendly Acommodation in Greolieres, Provence, France

Le Foulon, a large country house 35 minute's drive from Nice Cote d'Azur Airport.



Villa Rental or Bed and Breakfast
For most of the summer Le Foulon gets booked up by the week with groups of friends and family looking for more than your average villa with a pool.

What we have over the competition is space to breathe, with 9 bedrooms with their own bathroom, vast amounts of lounging space, a library, double height conservatory and 15 acres of double river frontage.

You are also let loose in a semi-commercial kitchen that is a joy to use when catering for a number of people.

You can rent Le Foulon like this anytime of the year, but in the Spring, Autumn and Winter we mostly get bed and breakfast clients looking for a quiet few days eating well, sleeping well and exploring this rich corner of the World. When we are in bed and breakfast mode we offer our resident guests a full restaurant and bar service (not to passing trade) and you can basically treat us like a hotel.



The swimming pool is heated and is generally open between the start of April and the end of October.

 Having lived a busy former life in London, and as owner managers, we like to think we offer the kind of personal service we loved to find on holiday way back when.

Hopefully you'll want for nothing but at the same time feel like you are at home, or staying with some good friends 

who won't let you lift a finger.

So we offer informal luxury that appeals to like-minded people of all ages, and despite the cliché a lot of friendships have been formed over a drink or two or a long meal round the dining table.



Driving From The UK and Northen Europe
If you're driving from the UK or northern Europe then on average visitors have taken 11 hours from Calais. This is based on going straight down the A7 Autoroute from Lyon before heading East on the A8 all the way to the Cote d'Azur and only brief stops for fuel.

A much nicer way of doing the journey is to make it part of your holiday, stop half way after dispatching flat less scenic northern France, driving via Grenoble and the A51/E712 to Sisteron before picking up the Route Napoleon. This road through the Alps is one of the most scenic anywhere in the World and highly recommended. See the printable link at the top of this page for directions.

We can also recommend some b&b's about half way down France - special places to stay with good restaurants and comfortable beds - just what you need in the middle of a long drive, and a far cry from a nasty chain hotel that you'll find next to the autoroute. Just contact us for a list of personal recommendations, it will make all the difference.
