Cote d'Azur
General
English visitors in the 19th-century dubbed the beautiful coast between Menton and Cannes the ‘French Riviera’. The forested hills of Provence and coves sheltered by the stunning cliffs of the Côte d’Azur, as it is called by the French, blend with the glamorous resorts of Fréjus, St Raphaël and St Tropez. Great rocky promontories and coves to the west of this region contrast with the wide sandy bays by Cannes and Nice, and the blue Mediterranean provides a striking setting to this spectacular coastline. Spend lazy days on the sandy beaches, visit the beautiful hilltop town of St-Paul-de-Vence or take a day trip into Italy. Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo, the capital of Monaco, are within easy reach, while inland Provence remains a haven of peace and relaxation away from the excitement of the coast. Remnants of the region’s Roman ancestry are still visible on the rolling Provence landscape and within the fortified hilltop villages perched on the wooded hillsides. Visit the dramatic Gorges du Verdon, France’s Grand Canyon, and the huge Lac de-Ste-Croix which is ideal for all kinds of watersports.
Places to Visit
Gassin
A delightful hilltop village with a breathtaking view over the bay of St Tropez and the Mediterranean.
St Tropez
Once a small fishing port, and now a sophisticated resort where luxury yachts far outnumber the fishing boats. Pavement artists line the quayside and its narrow streets are packed with smart cafés.
Villages Perchés
This region has many medieval hilltop villages. Visit Grimaud and Ramatuelle to enjoy the superb views across the Mediterranean sea.
Port Grimaud
A lively, modern resort, known as ‘Little Venice’, west of St Tropez. Wander through the maze of narrow streets, piazzas and canals lined with lively cafés and restaurants.
Cannes
One of the smartest resorts on the Côte d’Azur. Renowned as host to the International Film Festival each May.
St Raphaël
The little port of this chic resort comes alive at night. Drink cocktails in the smart bars or stroll under the palm trees.
Fréjus
An old Roman town, with a lively, modern promenade. Traces remain of its historic past, including the amphitheatre.
Nice
The old town has retained much of its Italian influence and amongst the maze of alleys and squares a good selection of Italian restaurants can be found.
Monte Carlo
The Principality of Monaco, the capital of which is Monte Carlo, offers lots to see. The Grimaldi palace and colourful botanical gardens have a stunning setting looking down on the yachts moored in the harbour. The famous Casino and Hotel de Paris are amongst the opulent buildings of Monte Carlo.
Menton
With long sandy beaches and two marinas, the famous Menton lemons are grown on the terraced slopes rising behind the town.
Family Attractions
Aquatica
Visit the Côte d’Azur’s largest waterpark at Fréjus. With seven huge slides, a wave pool, jacuzzis and a picnic area.

A large sealife centre at Antibes. Children will enjoy the regular performances by trained dolphins, seals and killer whales.
Iles de Porquerolles
These beautiful traffic free islands can be reached by ferry from Hyères and St Tropez.
Watersports
There are plenty of watersports facilities available on the Côte d’Azur, or you can drive inland to pretty Lac-de-Cassien and hire pedalos or windsurfer boards.
Oceanography Museum
This museum and aquarium at Monte Carlo, founded by Jacques Cousteau, is well worth a visit, and also has a fascinating aquarium.
