Valbonne, Administrative commune in Alpes-Maritimes, France.
Valbonne spans across 118 square kilometers of terrain, featuring a central village with symmetrical streets arranged in a grid pattern around Place des Arcades.
The village emerged in 1519 when Augustin de Grimaldi established a settlement to populate the valley, building upon land previously granted to Prads abbey in 1199.
The central Place des Arcades hosts markets twice weekly where locals and visitors gather to purchase regional products and experience Provençal traditions.
The municipality connects to major transportation networks and sits 15 kilometers from Cannes, with regular bus services linking to neighboring coastal cities.
The village layout follows ancient Roman military camp designs with two main intersecting avenues, contrasting with typical medieval curved street patterns.
