San Clemente and Dana Point
Truly inspired real estate
I want to showcase a number of places all over the world that reflect the true beauty of French influence but none can compare to Southern Orange County. For that reason, I wish to dedicate an entire page to the beauty you will find in the homes of San Clemente and Dana Point.
Stunning beaches
While I will contend while the day is long that Nice and the beaches off Corsica and Cote d’Azure are the most beautiful in the world, even I have to admit that the beaches in San Clemente are gorgeous. They are certainly crafted to look the way they do and it’s no accident that in Spanish San Clemente means Saint Clementine and Clementines are the chief export of Lyon in France.
Coincidence? I THINK NOT.
Master crafted homes and neatly groomed communities
Breathe deeply (not as deep as you would in France), but fill your lungs because the air in San Clemente is as close to France as it gets. If you look at San Clemente real estate selling today, you’ll notice homes littered with french architectural deisgn elements. Those shallowed clay roofs, the stucco contrasted with wrought iron fenced balconies and the thick storm-framed windows, all inspired by French culture and design.
I dare you to find a home in San Clemente, Dana Point or any of the surrounding areas that isn’t at least some way reflective of the French eye.
