With miles of stunning coastline to explore, a plethora of celebrated shops and restaurants and exciting events filling the calendar, this is a fascinating place to call home.
Monaco, the second smallest independent state in the world, is known as the playground of the French Riviera. The Monaco Grand Prix, hosted in the state’s prestigious Monte Carlo, draws visitors around the world each year, as does the Place du Casino, which has been a hotspot for fun and frivolity for over 150 years.
Each year, the Cannes Film Festival brings celebrities from all over the world to stay in the finest 5-star hotels in the region and browse the fashionable shopping districts of La Croisette and Rue d’Antibes.
But there is a quieter charm to be found in Cannes. The harbour, the bay and Le Suquet all ooze natural warmth and beauty, whilst the islands off the coast teem with stories to capture any imagination.
Nice’s perfectly curved coastline and crystal clear light has captured the hearts of artists including Matisse, Chagall and Niki de Saint Phalle over the years. This cultural capital is still the chosen home of many of the world’s creatives.
It is easy to lose a day in the old town’s winding alleyways, sipping coffee and perusing boutique shops and art studios. As evening falls, the aroma of local cuisine from the traditional restaurants tempts every wanderer to stay a little longer.
