A seaside town, Mandelieu-La Napoule displays a certain relaxed lifestyle, chic and relaxed on the Côte d'Azur. It is at the heart of an exceptional territory between the Mediterranean, Estérel and the Tanneron Forest, irrigated by multiple canals that cross its neighborhoods and bordered by the bucolic banks of the Siagne.
It is also a city at the heart of an economically dynamic and innovative territory, as it is framed by 4 flourishing competitiveness clusters!
The pole of creative industries of Cannes: a technopole of the image to the creation; the Cannes-Mandelieu space hub: satellite and aeronautics sector; the Cannes events center; the nautical center of Mandelieu.
It is both the result of a historical heritage and an economic dynamic shared by the towns - including Mandelieu - of the Cannes Pays de Lérins Agglomeration Community.
A leading business airport. This is one of its key strengths; Mandelieu shares with Cannes the title of France's second busiest business airport – after Le Bourget. Cannes-Mandelieu Airport belongs to the Côte d'Azur Airports Group, as do Nice and Saint-Tropez airports.
#MandelieuSportbyNature . Sport is celebrated here throughout the year, thanks to its history, as it was the aristocracy who introduced elegant sports here at the end of the 19th century. Today, its facilities and geography, nestled between the sea, rivers, and hills, allow for the practice of water sports and equestrian sports, golf, tennis, mountain biking, and hiking, particularly in the hills which are covered in mimosa at the beginning of the year, the emblematic flower of the winter sun on the French Riviera.
The organizers can enhance their professional events with sports proposals for their teams. On the program: yoga, fitness, running, cycling or nautical activities...

The Riviera Golf de Barbossi, created in 1991, showcases some twenty contemporary artworks along its course, skillfully combining sport and art.
