Mandelieu-la-Napoule lies in the department of Alpes Maritimes between Cannes and Fréjus. Mandelieu-la-Napoule has lots of attractions and is, indeed, a very pleasant place to spend a holiday. There are, for instance, three large beaches, a marina, the impressive Château de la Napoule, and splendid views to the Golfe de Napoule and to Antibes. The very best view is from the top of the small mountain St.-Peyré.
