Travel Guide Le Rouret

The village of Le Rouret is on the road from Nice to Grasse. Its geographical location, at the gateway to the Sophia Antipolis catchment area, has contributed to its development. 4000 people live here. The village is sheltered by the mountains of the hinterland. It therefore benefits from a special microclimate that has enabled the cultivation of perfume plants. Although the cultivation of jasmine, roses, orange trees and violets is no longer the order of the day, Le Rouret has managed to preserve a Provencal lifestyle that makes it a pleasant place to live. The commune has managed its urban development while preserving its natural spaces. The landscape rolls down to the sea in hills planted with cypress, cork oak and olive trees. Dry-stone terraces bear witness to the region's agricultural past. The communal wood, which stretches across the heights of Le Rouret, offers walkers a beautiful nature break. The village is arranged around its magnificent Provencal square, planted with century-old plane trees and bordered by the town hall, Saint-Pons church and a number of old buildings that have seen generations of villagers pass through their doors... Everything here evokes calm and serenity.
