Feet in the water on a beach of Côte d'Azur, in the dream mas, in the peaceful place, happiness under eyes.

"We imagine ourselves in these creeks of secret and magic islands: Porquerolles, Port-Cros, Ile du Levant..."

An access to the flowery sea, colored and well maintained very. We join sailboats on a sea of a deep blue there and farther the "Côte d'Azur" stands out. Peace and discretion.

Having pulled some edge on the open sea, the sailboat settles down peacefully shielded from the wind in the creek in the crystal clear water.

"By the earth the landscapes and the points of view are maybe even more beautifull and are widely worth seeing."
