Cote D'Azur



With the Alps protecting against inland winds and the sultry Mediterranean warming the breezes, the Côte d'Azur is pampered by a nearly tropical climate with exceptional sunshine almost 300 days a year. Medieval castles, citadels and fortified towns are dotted across the landscape offering wonderful views of the area. Nice, Cannes and Monaco are three popular spots on the Côte d'Azur.
 

Thanks to the sultry Mediterranean warming sea and the Alps protecting the area from inland winds, the Côte d'Azur is pampered with exceptional sunshine for almost 300 days a year. Such a perfect climate is not the only reason that makes the Côte d'Azur a perfect choice for short breaks and winter stays. The Côte d'Azur offers a huge choice of cool and chic beach-front towns and cities famous throughout the world. Indeed, no holiday to the Côte d'Azur is complete without strolling down ‘La Croisette’, the main promenade in Cannes, touring on the winding coastal roads or even ‘celebrity spotting’ in Monaco.

The Côte d'Azur offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in French culture and history, thanks to its array of medieval castles, citadels and fortified towns dotted across the landscape. The Côte d'Azur also opens up to rural southern France and its quality wine making and sumptuous cuisine.
