Auberge de la Madone Côte d’Azur The attractions of the French Riviera

The French Riviera, nestled between the sea and the mountains , is undoubtedly the most popular tourist destination in France. With its sunshine and ‘joie de vivre’, every year many holidaymakers head for the Mediterranean coast for a dream holiday. A little info on the attractions of this corner of paradise, full of charm and prestige.

The French Riviera

As summer approaches, we look forward to the sun and the gentle warmth that caresses our skin. This is what the Côte d ‘Azur offers, the sunniest and least rainy region in France!

An ideal destination for your holidays. Between the sea and the mountains, temperatures remain very pleasant, even outside the summer period.

Endless beaches

The French Riviera also offers  687 km of coastline!  All you need to enjoy swimming and sunbathing.

There’s no shortage of pebbled or fine sandy beaches: the Centenaire beach in Nice, the secret cove in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and many others.

Fascinating cultural wealth

Behind the hustle and bustle of the seaside resorts, the Côte d’Azur shines with its cultural wealth. Numerous museums stretch from Monaco to Fréjus, including the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco, the MAMAC in Nice and the Picasso Museum in Antibes.

The Côte d’Azur hinterland is home to some magnificent architectural buildings, including castles and Roman remains steeped in history.

Prestigious lifestyle Full of charm

Between the sea, the palaces, the casinos, the boutiques and the Michelin-starred restaurants, the lifestyle is more than attractive. The inland hills are full of enchanting nooks and crannies.

Perched villages, medieval villages, villages in bloom, exceptional sites such as Grasse, Gourdon, St Agnès and La Turbie.

These magnificent backdrops attracted a wealthy population and delighted 7th art directors.

A plethora of activities to suit all tastes

As well as all the entertainment, there’s always something to do: beach parties, walks along the seafront, the flower market… The towns along this beautiful coastline are well known for their day trips.

Travellers enjoy shopping or visiting exceptional places: the Fragonard perfume factory in Grasse, the Verdon Gorges, the Biot glassworks, etc.

Suitable Accommodation for Everyone

Another advantage of the Côte d’Azur coastline is its great capacity for receiving tourists. The French Riviera is not just for the wealthy. Whatever your budget, you’ll find a place to stay that suits your needs.

Campsites, hotels, holiday rentals, holiday villages, it’s all there for you to have a great stay.
