The luxury real estate market at the Côte d’Azur is one of the most attractive in the Mediterranean area.

In the narrow streets of the old village, the Provençal customs are visible on the historic facades of the ochre and stone buildings. The territory of Châteauneuf is a labelled olive-growing commune by excellence, today 45% of the land remains preserved for agricultural purposes such as perfume flowers, but also forest areas which offer superb walks and hikes.
