Default Living and Working in Sophia Antipolis

Salut.

I am interested in hearing about people's *experience* of living and working in Sophia Antipolis - just applied for a job - and so has my wife.

I lived and worked in Caen for 6 months so France is not unfamiliar. Sophia Antipolis is.

I guess the things that interest me are i) Rental prices ii) Nursery for a 18 month year old. And is there a lot of difference between say Caen (Normandie) and the south ?

We were thinking of looking at somewhere like Grasse to live ? Commute to Sophia Antipolis ?

Thanks.

Philip
