Provence - Côte d´Azur

The Côte d'Azur, the sunny south coast of the French Riviera, is not called 'the azure coast' for nothing. With a coastline that stretches from Marseille to the border with Italy and an average of three hundred Mediterranean days of sunshine a year, you can enjoy the golden sandy beaches here. Enormous villas dominate the coast of the Cap-Ferrat peninsula and the rich show off their expensive yachts and luxury cars in Saint-Tropez and Monaco. Visit scenic Antibes, which inspired great artists such as Monet and Picasso, or see the famous handprints on Cannes' Walk of Fame.
