This is a dynamic commune, stretching across 895 hectares, with a population of just over 3,000 inhabitants and divided into two districts; Pré-du-Lac where most of the commercial sector is found and Le Vignal located at the bottom of Châteauneuf-de-Grasse and more often than not called “The Little Siberia” as temperatures in winter have been known to drop as low as 14°C.
​
Situated just over 4 km from Grasse, 21 km from Cannes and bordering the small hamlets of Plascassier and Opio, Châteauneuf-de-Grasse is a pretty commune.
Within easy reach of Nice airport located only 34 km away, it is in close proximity to Sophia-Antipolis – the large sprawling techno park. Like Opio, Valbonne and Le Rouret it has drawn a large Anglophile contingent to the area and, consequently, house prices have risen slightly over the years.
