In the south of France, the Riviera covers the Mediterranean seacoast of the department of the Alpes Maritimes (06), from Théoule to Menton (on the Italian border). In 1888, Stéphen Liegeard invented the name "Côte d’Azur". It then became a fashionable vacation spot, the must amongst the upper crust, at first in winter, then in summer. The Riviera offers a variety of destinations to satisfy your preferences. Big towns and seaside resorts evoke the glorious hours of the Riviera, with Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Juan-Les-Pins, Monaco, Menton... |
