| Roquefort was originally a "castrum", then became a "seigneury", and was classified as a municipality in 1790. However Roquefort-les-Pins has never been a village. It consists of a series of hamlets made up of recently built homes, located in an area near Grasse, and concealed in the midst of a pine forest. Notre Dame is the oldest part, Le Plan is the commercial and administrative centre, Le Colombier is the residential district and Les Terres Blanches is a more rural area. In other words, at Roquefort-les-pins, there is something for everybody: schools, shops, sports centres and tennis courts, nurseries, and retirement homes, an antique dealer, vet, garden centre and osteopath, etc. In other words, at Roquefort-les-pins, there is something for everybody: schools, shops, sports centres and tennis courts, nurseries, and retirement homes, an antique dealer, vet, garden centre and osteopath, etc. Its major attraction is simply fantastic quality of life in a Mediterranean natural environment, benefitting from every possible modern amenity and service. Roquefort-les-Pins is a place where life is good, in the shade of its majestic pines ! |
