Places to see in ( Mandelieu la Napoule - France )
Mandelieu-la Napoule is a commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in southeastern France, located on the French Riviera just to the southwest of Cannes and northeast of Théoule-sur-Mer. It is known for the Château de la Napoule, a fortified castle of the 14th century. In the 20th century, Henry Clews Jr (son of the wealthy New York banker Henry Clews) and his wife Marie Clews, entirely renovated the château which they then inhabited. Henry Clews Jr was a painter and sculptor whose work still fills the castle, which is now run as a non-profit arts foundation by his descendants.
The château was once an ancient foundation, then a medieval fortress of the Counts of Villeneuve. Today the Roman Tower (4th century) and the Saracen Tower (11th century) are all that remain of the château that was destroyed during the French Revolution. The château designed by the Clews has cloister, terrace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Gothic dining room, and studio. In the basement of a tower at the château the remains of Henry (1876–1937) and Marie (1878–1959) are interred in two tombs that Henry designed and sculpted.
Private air transportation for the town (and for nearby Cannes) is provided by Cannes - Mandelieu Airport. The nearest major airport is Nice Cote d'Azur Airport, the second busiest airport in France; it is about 30 minutes drive from the airport to the town. The commune is reached from exit 41 on the autoroute A8. The town of Mandelieu-la-Napoule is situated on the Cote d'Azur in the Alpes-Maritimes department of France, between Theoule-sur-Mer and Cannes. It is in an attractive location, with the Mediterranean to the front and hills behind the town.
Much the most imposing monument here is the Chateau de Napoule, at the southern end of the beach. Although a small part of the castle (the Saracen Tower) dates back to the 11th century, most of the castle you can see is a 20th century reconstruction of a 14th century castle destroyed during the Revolution. The work was carried out by Henry Clews, an artist who owned the castle and whose work you can still see exhibited inside.
Local markets, a good chance to sample many local products, are held in Mandelieu four times a week - but not always in the same place. Wednesday and Friday mornings the market is in the Place des Combattants in the town centre, thursdays it is in La Napoule at Place Saint-Fainéant, and saturday mornings in Place Jeanne d'Arc in the Capitou region of the town.
