Touring along the sun-kissed Mediterranean coast, with palm-tree lined roads, glitzy and glamorous cities – it’s not surprising that Côte d’Azur holidays remain an ensuring travel hit. Spanning over 100km, the Côte d'Azur snakes along the southeast coast of
France, serving up a great selection of chic towns and cities including Nice,
Cannes and Monaco.
With the Alps protecting against inland winds and the sultry Mediterranean warming the sea breezes, the Côte d'Azur is pampered with exceptional sunshine for almost 300 days a year. It’s not just the near-perfect climate that makes a holiday in the Côte d'Azur such a popular choice for short breaks and even 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 is also a perfect region to immerse yourself in French culture and history. It’s packed with a great mix of history and culture contained in 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.
