The Côte D`Azur basks luxuriously along the sunny southern extremes of France, sheltered by the magnificent Alpes Maritimes. There is something for everyone along this eclectic shoreline, from the Principality of Monaco, to the idyllic sun-laden Ste Maxime and St Tropez, with its subtropical capes and pretty port.
INTRODUCTION
Blessed with an almost tropical climate, the Côte d’Azur is an area synonymous with high flyers, high fashion, glamorous marinas and exotic boutiques. Whether looking for a glamorous holiday rental in a sought after resort or a luxurious retreat located close to a traditional village, the Côte d’Azur is the perfect option. A superb climate ensures you’ll be dining al-fresco and relaxing by the pool throughout your luxury villa vacation.
The cosmopolitan metropolis of Cannes attracts many visitors for many reasons, including its turquoise shoreline, beautiful gardens interspersing the city, its chic and stylish shops, the warmth of its welcome and its Provençal roots, all of which make Cannes a favoured villa vacation destination and central point of the French Riviera. Continuing east the sandy and picturesque beaches of Juan-les-Pins and Antibes await, before you reach the diverse and culturally rich city of Nice. The Côte d’Azur has a long relationship with artists such as Renoir, Picasso and Matisse; the museums of Nice offer a formidable collection of such works, along with more contemporary pieces.
East of Nice lies the ‘Golden Triangle’ between Nice and Monaco, towns and villages such as Eze Bord-de-Mer, Villefranche and St Jean Cap Ferrat are areas of extreme beauty, where mountains strut into the sea and the landscape is at its most breathtaking. Along this coastline lie revered restaurants, idyllic, sheltered coves and picturesque ports.
At the furthest eastern point of the Riviera, the Principality of Monaco and Monte Carlo awaits the jet-set! The harbour is aligned with super yachts and this region has an almost magnetic attraction for the rich, famous and fashionable that gravitate here to enjoy the cosmopolitan lifestyle and exotic climes. The Palais du Prince is a must-see, located high above the Port, it allows for truly awe-inspiring panoramic views. There is no better place for an aperitif whilst in Monaco than at the Café de Paris in Casino square, perfectly manicured gardens and central location make it the perfect place to people watch!
