At the roundabout, continue towards Grasse. Take the first exit towards Valbonne Centre; at the end of the road, turn left towards Valbonne/Mougins Centre. Continue following the signs for Valbonne (approximately 5 km). You will drive into Valbonne with a beautiful row of trees on your left and follow the road. Old Valbonne is on your right, and there is a large car park on the left. At the intersection after passing through Valbonne, turn right towards Biot. Follow the road, which makes a few sharp bends, and drive out of Valbonne. At the large roundabout, go straight ahead towards Biot. Do the same at the next roundabout (continue towards Biot at a new school). At the following roundabout, take the second exit towards Biot (note: not the first exit D104 for truck traffic to Biot, but the D4 towards Biot – at this roundabout, you will see a Televalbonne electronic equipment shop on the left). At the next roundabout – which is after only 200 meters – turn right onto the D4 towards Biot. After 100 meters, turn left and drive into Domaine Val d’Azur. After 300 meters, the key manager will be waiting for you with the gate code to enter the estate.

In the estate, drive straight ahead until you see the tennis courts on the left. Turn right there, and then immediately right again. After that, the first left is Rue de Chopin, and at the end on the right you will find No. 46.
