The village has some very pretty little streets between the old buildings, many with climbing plants and flowers. Walking through the village is mostly ups and downs, and you can go all the way down to the river on the southwest side, but it’s pretty steep walking back up again. A carefully restored 18th century church sits at the top of the village. From this high point, you have a terrific view of the surrounding country, including the Tanneron mountains, the Peygros forest, the Prealps of Grasse, the Pic de Courmettes and the plateau of Valbonne. Auribeau is half way between Cannes and Grasse, on the D9 (Route de Pégomas), in the Siagne river valley. Below the village, a new town has been built along the Siagne river valley, at an altitude of 10-30 m. The village also offers nice hotels and restaurants. There are shops and postoffice nearby and also a local French school. There are a bilingual school for small children nearby and within 15 min you reach Mougins School, an international school with a very good reputation.
