A coastline of legendary beauty, with warm Mediterranean seas, superb sandy beaches and vibrant resorts give the Riviera a unique appeal. With St Tropez, Nice and Cannes competing for your attention, not to mention a host of less famous but equally lovely resorts, it is easy to develop a taste for the good life here. Contrasting with smooth, white beaches and idyllic islands, the dramatically beautiful hills, and fields of lavender provide wonderful surroundings for walks and drives. The beautiful views and evocative scented landscapes that have attracted so many artists, combined with warm velvety nights, are all ingredients of the charm and appeal of the Riviera. With seemingly endless sunny beaches, charming towns, glamorous yachts and celebrities galore, the French Riviera keeps the Belle Epoque alive. Renowned destinations such as St-Tropez, Nice and Cannes lure visitors to tread in Picasso, Matisse and Bizet's wake. Over a hundred museums and more than 150 galleries keep the artistic ambiance alive. Many of the busy fishing ports along the coast of the Cote d'Azure have become the most sought after, most stylish and most flamboyant resorts on the French Riviera.
