Côte d'Azur, also known as the French Riviera, is southeastern France’s Mediterranean coast. It was originally an 18th-century health and luxury retreat for the wealthy. Today, it’s a popular spot for art, history, and cuisine. It’s also a place with some of the most majestic landscapes in the region. Culture lovers will enjoy exploring remnants of Rome’s glorious architecture and prehistoric sights, as well as art collections by famous French artists such as Chagall and Matisse. Foodies can dig into delicious Provençal fare. The best part is that the French Riviera features some of the Mediterranean’s most pristine beaches where sunbathing is an official activity or hiring a yacht charter is a must for a unique experience. It also has stunning beach resorts in Cannes and Saint-Tropez. Côte d'Azur is a destination where you can treat yourself to a lavish and laid-back vacation.
