Why Go?
Once upon a time, everyone called this glamorous stretch of Mediterranean coast the French Riviera; then in 1888 author Stéphen Liégeard dubbed it La Côte d’Azur, the name stuck and the rest is history.
Whatever you prefer to call it, the seashore that extends from St-Tropez to the French-Italian border is one of the world’s great seaside destinations, packed with gorgeous beaches, luxury hotels, designer bars, belle-époque villas, coastal trails, red-rock headlands and offshore islands. From Monte Carlo’s casino to Nice’s Promenade des Anglais to the Cannes film festival and St-Tropez’s yacht harbour, the Côte d’Azur is home to some of the most iconic spots in Europe’s collective consciousness.
Beyond the coast, the region is also home to some spectacular hilltop villages and mountain scenery, along with vineyards, flower farms that feed the French perfume industry and more than its fair share of great art museums.
