Cote d'Azur

Known famously worldwide as the ‘French Riviera’, the Cote d’Azur is ideally situated between the Mediterranean and the Alps. This premier tourist region combines beautiful scenery with an historical heritage rich in archaeological and architectural interest. With its many celebrations and festivals, it’s an exciting area and offers everything imaginable from chic seaside resorts with water sports and tropical hillsides, to rural towns and villages with horse-riding and country walks. In winter there’s a wonderful contrast between skiing in the Alps and enjoying the warm sunny weather on the coast just two hours away.
