Why French Riviera (Nice & Cannes).
The Côte d’Azur strings together Nice, Cannes, Antibes, and the principality of Monaco along the most glamorous coastline in Europe.
Nice’s Promenade des Anglais and the pebble beaches give way to the belle-époque grandeur of the Hotel Negresco and the daily flower-and-produce market of the Cours Saleya.
Cap Ferrat and Èze hide the great villas and gardens — Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild is the most beautiful house on the coast.
The calendar is the draw: the Cannes Film Festival in May, the Monaco Grand Prix the same month, and the superyacht season all summer.
It is the gateway to Provence and the perched villages of the Alpes-Maritimes — Saint-Paul-de-Vence and the Matisse and Chagall museums are a short drive inland.
