Saint-Paul

Cannes is one of the best-known French cities in the world. Its renown is closely linked to the Croisette, its promenade, its film stars and its international film festival. Its exceptional setting, excellent climate and long sandy beaches along the deep blue Mediterranean Sea attract crowds all year round.
The little nearby town of Mougins has considerable appeal due to its gracious architecture, friendly but quiet atmosphere and its gastronomy. Captivated by the setting, Picabia and Picasso spent many years here!

Stretching across three levels of the cliff overhanging the Mediterranean Sea, Eze, in a medieval, fortified setting, has all the charm of a historic town and the facilities of a seaside resort.
Princes and writers have made it their holiday location for the past century (Gustave of Sweden, Nietzsche and George Sand to quote but a few) and Eze has become a must for a stay on the Riviera.

Grasse is the city of fragrance. During its long history, it was transformed from a strategic fortress to a focal point in the tanning and fur trade industry and, in the 18th century, it became the world perfume capital. The small city is a succession of perfume factories and gardens, gratifying the senses. While the nose occupies pride of place, there is still a feast for the eyes: the old town with tiny streets around the N.D. du Puy cathedral still has a charm of its own. The cathedral is worth a visit: while its austere external aspect is surprising, the splendour of the vaulted interior and paintings by Rubens, Louis Bréa and Fragonard is absolutely fascinating.

Built on rock where the Alps fall away into the Mediterranean Sea, the Principality of Monaco glistens with sparkling beauty and unequalled splendour. A luxurious seaside resort and tax haven of international finance, people flock to Monaco, drawn by the gaming tables and galas held almost every day. The heart of the rock, composed of numerous salmon-pink, 18th century houses is particularly attractive.
The Formula 1 Grand Prix which runs through the streets of Monte-Carlo, attracts thousands of people every year.

On the Riviera, Nice is distinctive for its colourful, gracious appearance amid beaches, cliffs and the mountains. The old town and its busy streets full of shops and restaurants has for years now been a venue for tourists in quest of the sun. Winding roads known as “Corniches”, dating back to Roman times, encircle the city and stretch to Cannes in the west and Monaco and Italy in the east, offering landscapes of immense grandeur. Art and history lovers will take a more northerly road to St-Paul de Vence, a remarkable medieval town where Chagall, who fell in love with the attractive surroundings, asked to be buried.
