CÔTE D'AZUR Stretching from Théoule-sur-Mer to Menton in the region of the Alpes-Maritimes, the Côte d'Azur is lush ribbon of coastline in the far South Eastern corner of France near the Italian border. Also known as the French Riviera it is home to places whose names are conjure up visions of glamour, wealth and style, Cannes, Nice, Antibes and even the principality of Monaco. A sun drenched paradise where the living is easy and the pickings are potentially very rich. Sheltered by the alps from inland winds, with the Mediterranean coaxing warm breezes, the near tropical climate and azure waters are a magnet for yachtsmen and pleasure boat lovers aspire to live the dream. The sailing conditions are almost always superb, with excellent fishing and incredible diving to add adventure to your voyage of discovery. White villas stare across pristine sandy beaches towards incredible marinas where thousands of vessels are anchored. It is a mariner’s paradise, with boats that cost hundreds often moored next to boats that cost millions. Everyone is welcome and the mood is always relaxed and friendly. Ashore each cove and harbour has its own distinct personality, from the razzmatazz of Cannes and St. Tropez to the elegance of Nice and Marseille. There is something for everyone to enjoy. Beyond the aristocratic splendour of the towns lies stunning countryside rich in vegetation and a virtual wonderland for those with adventurous spirit. To visit the Côte d'Azur is to experience France at its most extravagant from the natural beauty of the land and sea to the magnificent architecture and vibrant town centres. There you will find the France’s finest food, most exotic entertainment, most exuberant carnivals, warmest hospitality and best of all the loveliest weather you could ever imagine
