PREPARE YOUR STAY ON THE CÔTE D'AZUR!
At the foot of its mountains plunging into the Mediterranean, the Côte d’Azur generously invents “here” with a taste of elsewhere. 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 breathtaking peaks over 3000 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, gardens of Eden that bear living witness to a rich past of diverse influences, rocky plateaux dedicated to transhumance, “here” with a taste of elsewhere is an invitation to travel. The Côte d’Azur from A to Z, a thousand ways to experience spring.
