 The recorded history of the oldest part of the town of Roquebrune-sur-Argens began around 983. Signs of human settlements, from the local "Bouverian culture", dating from Prehistory, were found in caves near La Bouverie.

57 Domain Des Baux is situated just 10 to 15 minutes drive from the Mediterranean with plenty of Public Beaches available in St. Aygulf, 

St. Maxime, Les Issambres, Frejus and St Raphael.

Frejus, Often refered to as the "French Pompeii" is an Old Roman Town founded by Julius Ceasar around 49 BC there are old Romain Ruins including a Amphitheatre and  Aqueduct, plus the Old Frejus Cathedral built between the 5th and 14th Century along with its cloistre is a must see.  If History is not your thing then a walk from the old town to Port Frejus and along the Mediterranean Coast with its lively Bar's, Club's and Restaurants is also worth a trip.  There are plenty of activities on the beaches nearby including Pedalo's, Jet Skiing, Parasailing, hiring a boat for a days Sea Fishing and Scuba Diving.

In the Summer there is a Night Market along the sea front between Frejus and St. Raphael with numerous Stalls and Street Performers which is also well worth a trip out.

The South of France is well covered by Uber and Bolt plus excellent Public Transport Links so getting around should not be a problem.

St Tropez is a 40 minute drive although in High Season the drive is best avoided as it will take much longer, better would be to go to St Raphael and take le Bateaux Bleu, which is a reasonable cost and takes you along the coast via boat to St Tropez, they also offer boat trips to Cannes from St Raphael.

The Beautiful cities of Cannes, Nice, and the Pricipality of Monaco are only a short distance away and the Italian Border is only an Hour and a Half's drive - although I would recommend that you take the Coastal Train from St Raphael as its much less hassle and the views are stunning.

If you have a car the Gorges du Verdon and The Lavender Fields on the Valensole Plateau are Stunning and a must see if you are in Provence in June/July.

There are numerous vineyards nearby, some within walking distance which offer, tours and Wine Tasting, Including Domaine Des Planes, Domaine Des Marchandise, Chateau Vaudois and the Whispering Angel Vineyard all of which are worth a visit (make sure you have a nominated driver)
