Coastal life with a touch of old-world glamour
The iconic French Riviera, also known as the Côte d’Azur, is a beautiful section of France’s Mediterranean coastline stretching from the Italian border westward via the state of Monaco, Nice, Cannes and Saint-Tropez to the port of Toulon.
Where Parisians flock to summer and celebrities come to play, Saint-Tropez epitomises the region’s glamour dating back to the 1950s, when influential French stars like Brigitte Bardot and Coco Chanel began frequenting this charming coastal town, transforming it from a simple fishing village into a jet-setters’ paradise. Today, the peninsula of Saint-Tropez with its yacht-filled gulf is still very much the heart of the Riviera and it has retained its glittering allure.
Cannes is small city renowned for its film festival, but it keeps its glitzy charm for the rest of the year, few places more so than the Promenade de la Croisette which is flanked by a sun lounger strewn sand beach and luxury shops, hotels and restaurants.
Nice, the largest city and capital of the region, enjoys a similarly grand seaside setting, along with glorious architecture, a charming old town and great food, but with a little more edge. A scattering of rustic villages and towns can be found along the rest of the coast and inland.
Spend your days admiring the yachts in the harbours from pretty port-side terraced cafes, lounging on dazzling beaches and lunching at chic bars. There are also some great wineries nearby, plenty of history and art to uncover, and the beautiful landscapes of Provence to the north.
