Supermarket and other shops:
Head back on the A8 motorway in the direction of Nice until you get to J40 signposted La Napoule and Mandelai. There is a “Geant” (Tesco equivalent) supermarket 3km from this junction. At J41, a few km’s from the junction there is a very large sports shop (Decathlon) and a toy shop.

The Beach:
There are numerous beaches that are worth visiting. Some of the best can be found just off J40 of the A8.

Le lac de Saint Cassien:
This beautiful, wild freshwater lake is about 7 km long north-south, with an east-west section another 3 km long. With its southern tip adjacent to the autoroute, only 12 km west of Cannes, the Lac de St. Cassien is easy to get to, but remains untouched in a natural environment. The lake is bordered almost completely by forested hills, and the shoreline is undeveloped, leaving its beauty for all to enjoy.
The D37 road from the autoroute (exit Les Adrets) goes north along the eastern shore of the lake, and then crosses over to northwest to join the D562 Grasse-Draguignan road just east of Fayence.
There are some places along the road with ample parking and easy access to the shore, with beaches for swimming, picnic tables, and boat, pedalo, sailboard and canoe rental. The majority of the shoreline, however, is isolated and accessible only (if at all) by small trails through the scrub oak and juniper to tiny coves and clear spots suitable for picnicking and swimming.

Sports:

Fishing
The lake apparently contains huge carp, as well as pike and other predator fish. Carp fishing is open year-round, but please, if you catch one of these noble creatures, release it back into the lake. There is a season for the other fish; ask at Chez Pierre's or one of the other cafes on the lake. To help maintain the sport of fishing, you should release anything that you catch.
Thanks to reader Simon Moxley (MCSE), DEC Europe, for providing the fishing information.

Boating
Boat, canoe, pedalo and sailboard rental is available along the eastern shore of the lower lake (conveniently beside the road) and northwestern end of the Pont de Prè Claou bridge that crosses the lake. The rental boats are row boats and boats with small electric motors.
Private motor boats are not allowed on the lake.
No water skiing.
