With beautiful coastlines and charming resorts stretching over an impressive 120km from Toulon to the Franco-Italian border town of Menton, the worldwide renown and enduring appeal of France's Cote d'Azur is clear to see.
This picturesque corner of France's southern coast boasts immaculate seascapes, picture-perfect blue skies and crystal clear waters,as well as sunny bays and lively marinas, and well-preserved villages where visitors can sample the laidback lifestyle of the Mediterranean. Anyone feeling slightly more energetic can make the most of the regions' expansive promenades and varied country footpaths - the perfect way to see the surrounding landscape and enjoy the warm weather. Visitors hoping to sample the region's vibrant and sophisticated nightlife should head to the larger towns and resorts of Cannes, Antibes, St-Tropez, and Nice - ideal for an evening or two of drinks and dancing, dinner, or simply watching the world go by.
For visitors who prefer to take a slower pace on their summer holiday, the French Riviera's rural landscape is something of a hiddengem, with lakes and Alpine-esque pastures complete with hilltop villages seemingly just around the corner from the area's beaches but still tantalisingly untouched and tranquil.
