3.Explore the destinations of the Côte d’Azur

At the heart of this special evening, the village Côte d’Azur France invites us to escape to discover, stand after stand, many of the destinations that make the region so vibrant. For example, Beuil-les-Launes, a proud mountain village with a heroic history, lets us test our senses on a taste treasure hunt. On its stand, Biot will reveal the fascinating secrets of the Knights Templar and the age-old art of its master glassmakers. La Colle-sur-Loup, with its Provencal spirit, spins its wheel of fortune to offer us a moment of sharing all in good humour!

Cannes plays the glamour card and transforms us into stars for the duration of a cinema workshop worthy of the Croisette. Le Cannet, inspired by the luminous world of Bonnard, transports us to the world of arts and crafts. The capital of gastronomy, Mougins will awaken our taste buds with delicious pastry workshops. Head for Grasse, the birthplace of perfumers, which will take our senses on a journey with olfactory animations. As for Saint-Paul de Vence, a veritable artistic bastion, it invites us to relive the golden age of painters and poets.

As for the Vallauris Golfe-Juan stand, the destination reveals its two faces, between art pottery and seaside pleasures. Villeneuve-Loubet, full of energy and adventure, promises to amaze young and old alike. As for the Villages et Vallées d’Azur, they share the sweetness of traditions by introducing us to the tasting of crystallised violets and other fragrant wonders.

So many destinations to discover or rediscover, to extend the summer and share the incomparable art of living on the Côte d’Azur.
