House
Amenities and how-tos
Security and Alarms
- The house is equipped with a security alarm system, but it has been deactivated prior to your arrival.
- The pool is also protected by an alarm. Learn how to deactivate it here.
- Inside the house, a smoke detector is installed in the hallway leading to the sleeping area.
Good to know: the alarm visible outside, above the garage door, is a decoy device — a purely deterrent shell with no active function. Feel free to unhook it from the wall if it bothers you (night blinking, aesthetics).
WiFi Networks

- To connect, you can scan the following codes.
- The same password applies to both networks: 0804572709

Enjoying the View
La Mauricette offers a unique panorama of the Toulon harbor, the surrounding hills, and on clear days, even the distant islands. In the morning or at sunset, the view is vibrant, ever-changing, and almost meditative.
What you might see…
- The dance of military and civilian ships entering the harbor
- Submarines surfacing off Saint Mandrier
- The Charles-de-Gaulle aircraft carrier majestically returning to port
- Corsican ferries and the civil guard’s helicopters
And at night…
The night sky is often clear, protected from light pollution by the sea on one side and the Maures mountains on the other.
Lie down for a moment on the terrace, look up, and let yourself be amazed by the brightness of the stars.
