French Riviera

Along the spectral waters of the Mediterranean, the French Riviera has long been a premier destination for the international jet set. Brilliant white villas, magnificent yachts and long golden beaches create the ultimate playground. In addition, the Riviera has a significant cultural allure, having inspired legendary artists such as Matisse and Chagall, who lived and worked there years ago.

Aside from being a legendary artistic inspiration, the area of Nice is an entire attraction unto itself. From the rich blue-green sea, diverse shopping and splendid dining, to the lovely Art-Deco facades and prized Cours Saleya Flower Market, Nice will satisfy your dream of the perfect Cote d'Azur vacation. While the glimmering waters and shimmering beaches of Nice are part of the main attraction to most, some of the landmarks including the Basilique Notre Dame, Cathedrale Orthodoxe Russe St. Nicolas, Phoenix Parc Floral de Nice, and the main botanical gardens are just as exciting. Due south you'll find Cannes, home to the world-renowned Cannes Film Festival, where the city is filled with locals and celebrities alike each year. Cannes also offers the enticement of countries elegant boutiques along Rue d'Antibes for those seeking fashion at its finest.
