Best Places to Visit on the French Riviera

11, Nov 2023

The French Riviera is world-renowned for its stunning scenery, vibrant culture and unapologetic luxury. This is likely why over 13 million tourists visit the Cote d’Azur every single year.

 

If you’re planning a tour of the French Riviera, we at Azur Property Care have compiled some must-see places. Happy travels!

 

1.    Antibes

 

With sixteenth-century ramparts, Fort Carré, where Napoleon was once imprisoned, and the Picasso Museum, Antibes is full of history. However, boasting the Mediterranean’s largest marina and luxurious villas, you’ll never be far away from the creature comforts of modern life in Antibes.

 

2.    Valbonne

 

Valbonne means ‘the good valley’, and this small commune lives up to its name. Overflowing with lush, green landscapes, if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, while still taking advantage of French country cuisine and fresh farmers markets, Valbonne is the place to go.

 

3.    Cannes

 

 

Cannes is famed around the world for its glamorous and sophisticated allure. Though you may know of Cannes for its film festival, there’s a lot more to do here than meets the eye. Take a trip back in time in 100-year-old churches, sip some wine of Cote de Provence, or laze on a sun-kissed beach.

 

4.    Mougins

 

 

Perched atop the French Riviera’s sun-drenched hills, Mougins offers the best of old-world splendour and modern appeal. This medieval village is framed with pines and olive trees, making every picture into a postcard. However, Mougins is most famous for its incredible chefs, so you’ll be spoilt for choice for Michelin-starred restaurants.

 

5.    Nice

 

 

Nice’s picturesque coastline, bustling markets, and focus on city life draw tourists from around the world. Explore the myriad of boutiques down charming alleys, visit a medieval chateau, watch OGC Nice battle for Ligue 1, or take a stroll along pebbly beaches before snorkelling in a turquoise sea.

 

6.    Monaco

 

 

The beacon of luxury on the Cote d’Azur, Monaco has achieved prestigious status among the world’s richest cities. But don’t let this fool you, the city is also home to some exquisite scenery. When you’re done wandering around the Princess Grace Rose Garden, why not try your luck in one of Monaco’s many casinos?
