Cote d`Azur

The Cote d`Azur is known for its intoxicating cocktail of glitzy Riveria towns, charming fishing ports, exciting Corniche roads and the scent of the maquis and lavender. The area hums with beautiful people at play. The sophistication of Cannes and St Tropez with its palm lined boulevards and luxury yachts contrasts with the timeless charm of hilltop villages with views through the purple haze of distant mountains and landscapes of lavender and cypresses which inspired Van Gogh, Cezanne Renoir and Matisse. The Cote d`Azur`s reputation for the endless variety of wonderful restaurants is richly deserved.
