5 raisons de passer vos vacances sur la Côte d’Azur

During your stay on the Côte d'Azur, you will begin to adopt the Mediterranean way of life. Long sunny days and warm weather make it easy to enjoy the glorious coastline and countryside. The landscape here is incredibly diverse - from the French Alps, we see peeking out behind the city of Nice - to the sun-drenched beaches of Cannes and Saint-Tropez. The inland region of the Var is home to rolling hills filled with vineyards and lavender. The French Riviera is peppered with medieval towns and villages, featuring old painted buildings and terracotta tiled roofs. The bright sunshine illuminates the landscape and enhances the rich colours of the sand, sea, and architecture! 

 

Our coastline is heaven for boat and yacht lovers! During the summer months, world-famous yachts, and sailboats are spotted gliding past the coast and docked in our ports. Our authentic cuisine is light, rustic, delicious and true to the diverse culture of the area. In every city throughout the region, you can try the Niçoise salad or Socca. Socca is authentic street food - a savoury pancake made from chickpea flour, and topped with caramelized onions. 

The French Riviera is lush with Provencal vegetation, winding alleyways, and charming cobblestone streets. The region is filled with the scent of perfume - a unique attribute of the Provence derived from the numerous perfumeries found here! The French Riviera is famous for its sunsets! Stroll along the coastline or take a seat at a wine bar and admire the breathtaking colour pallet of our candyfloss skies! The famous Croisette beach in Cannes offers outstanding views of the sun slowly sinking behind the Esteral mountains. In Spring and early summer, you can enjoy the view of the snow-capped Alps whilst you lounge on the beaches in Cap d'Antibes or Juan Les Pins. 

It's Unique & Accessible Geographical Location

 

If you love the outdoors, you will be thrilled by the abundance of activities such as hiking, cycling or horse riding in the Cannes hinterland. Climbing in the Estérel mountains, snorkelling or diving around the Lérins Islands or even a sailboat ride to the Italian border! The Côte d'Azur is above all famous for its warm climate. Known for having a warmer climate than the rest of France - throughout the winter it is not uncommon to see people swimming in the sea! The 120 kilometers of coastline and the region's 9 natural parks will be your playground all year! When winter arrives, you can enjoy mountain sports in any of the fifteen ski resorts in the Nice hinterland. The ski resorts are located just a 70-minute drive from Nice. During the Spring, you can ski in the morning and swim in the Mediterranean Sea in the late afternoon!

 

A Land Of Flowers And Perfumes

Rose, violet, jasmine, lavender, orange blossom, and mimosa are the essences of the Côte d´Azur! Those who admire flowers and perfumes, will not be disappointed! Historically, flower farming was the main source of income for the inhabitants of Grasse. Grasse is the perfume capital of the world! Known for taking roses and jasmine and turning them into exquisite perfumes. Nearby in Tourrettes-sur-Loup Violets were the flower of choice for the perfume creators. Today the horticultural past is celebrated in all its splendour through many traditional festivals. But, Grasse remains the world's capital of perfume!

 

 A rich historical and cultural heritage
