On the French Riviera, admire the vivid blue of the Mediterranean that laps the coves, islands and golden beaches. It’s an incredible natural color chart that inspired the greatest painters of the 20th century.
The Côte d’Azur is also glittering with world-class events such as the Cannes Film Festival – and the warm hues of its villages and gardens give it an inimitable holiday atmosphere, bolstered by the famous scents of its hinterland.
On the Côte d’Azur, you never need choose between city and beach – the two are inseparable. The cities always have a slice of sand to put your towel down and a port to moor a boat. Here are some ideas to enhance your trip to the French Riviera...
Culture, art or sport… the pulse of the Côte d’Azur races all year round with events and festivals from Cannes to Nice, and the Croisette to the Promenade des Anglais.

The major cities and coastal tourist resorts evoke the glory of the Riviera, with destinations such as Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Juan-Les-Pins, Monaco, Menton, Bandol, the hilltop villages around Faïence, the Esterel Massif, the Porquerolles Islands, the famous Saint-Tropez, and the Haut Var with majestic sites like the Verdon Gorge and Lake Sainte-Croix.
The French Riviera is a true delight for food lovers who wish to savor the authenticity and creativity of its incredible sun-kissed cuisine.
