The Côte d'Azur offers you the most beautiful sunshine in the world, as well as plenty of maritime pleasure. On 120km of coastland, you will find numerous reputable seaside stops, 40km of both sandy and pebble beaches, incredible sites, capes and islands.
Running alongside the Mediterranean, with the Italian border to the east and the Maritime Alps disappearing into the sea, the Côte d'Azur and its hinterlands contain tourist treasures which are known all over the world, as well as a mild and sunny climate 340 days of the year. It's really the only place in France which truly enjoys a microclimate where during a certain time of the year one can't decide whether to go skiing or water-skiing!
All year round you can admire the selection of charming Palaces along the Mediterranean which still remain from the glorious Belle Epoque, a collection of rococo architectural masterpieces side by side with palm trees which border la Croisette in Cannes and Promenade des Anglais in Nice.
While Cannes is a mythical town which welcomes the biggest stars for the « montée des marches » which preceeds the entrance into the Palais des Festivals, it's the whole coast which attracts multimillionaires from around the globe.
The « quai des Milliardaires » in Antibes, from the biggest marina in Europe, holds the most luxurious boats in the world, and next to the Antibes Cape, the most prestigious properties run along the "Baie des milliardaires", where one of the most luxurious hotels in the world is situated, the Cap Eden Roc.
But Antibes - Juan-les-Pins also owes its reputation to its famous International Jazz Festival, created in 1960, after Sidney Bechet's wedding in Antibes in 1951. The Temple du Jazz, known all over the world, is also an unbeatable location for a fantastic, lively night out.
Hiding behind the Côte d'Azur's glamorous and chic coastline, you will find some unique treasures, whose unusual charm and exceptional beauty have caught the eye of many painters and artists. Countless picturesque and authentic provincial villages make up the medieval village of Mougins. Charmed by its beautiful flowery alleyways, its many workshops and art galleries, and the incredible view that it offers of Cannes bay and the Lérins islands, the painters Francis Picabia and Pablo Picasso chose to live in this amazing location.
You will love the authenticity and charme of Biot, a village known all over the world for its bubble glass. You can discover this glass as you cross the alleyways lined with workshops and glass galleries, as well as Provincial pottery, paintings and sculptures.
You will love Vence and the « pays vençois », one of the most attractive places in the Alpes-Maritimes, and also one of the most sought after in the Côte d'Azur. It's a true gem which attracts us and fascinates artists with its rich culture aswell as by the diversity of its landscape.
At lunchtime, stop in one of the many small, but charming restaurants, or sunny terraces which are scattered around the little places of this paradise-like location, to discover the gastronomy and its olive oil, garlic, thyme, wild thyme and savoury flavours.
