Cote d'Azur

The French Riviera is the eastern part of the French Mediterranean coast, namely most of the Alpes-Maritimes department and includes the principality of Monaco.

Between sea and mountains, Mediterranean shores between Saint-Tropez and Menton, Provençal links to the Alpine massifs of Mercantour, the Côte d'Azur is a land of contrasting landscapes from its cities of Nice and Cannes known all over the world! The beauty of its beaches and the luxury of its palaces, the influence of its festivals and the celebrity of its artists form a harmonious balance with the forests and green valleys of the highlands, the red roofs of old hilltop villages and the yellow mimosas in bloom…

BEYOND GLITTERS

Irresistible and intoxicating, the Riviera vibrates to the rhythm of its events, which crowd visitors from all over the world. Flashes crackle and rhinestones sparkle at the Cannes Film Festival. Bodies and hearts dance at the Nice Carnival, when colors and scents turn heads at the Lemon Festival in Menton. Resort of Pablo Picasso, prized by Jean Cocteau, the Côte d´Azur also boasts a strong artistic and cultural identity.

SCENTS AND EMOTIONS

A center of perfume creation, of which the city of Grasse is the symbol, the Riviera is a land where flowers bloom and participate in a permanent explosion of colors, emotions and creations. Higher inland, the excitement gives way to the variegated nature of the Mercantour National Park and millennial geological sites, like the Vallée des Merveilles.
