From the pebbles of Nice to the sands of Pampelonne, forests of mimosas and exotic gardens, the Côte d’Azur, from Menton to Hyères, unfurls beaches named after desire, towns of seductive architecture, daring capes and striking peaks over 3,000 metres high. The thousand territories of the Côte d’Azur are also invented in the shade of the baous, in the fragrant freshness of its valleys and impressive gorges. Villages perched high above oak trees, eden-like gardens that bear living witness to a rich past of diverse influences, rocky plateaus dedicated to transhumance, “here” with a taste of elsewhere, beckons all kinds of journeys. Sublimate your emotions, you’re on the French Riviera!
