The French Riviera is synonymous with affluence, style and sophistication – exclusive seaside destinations such as Cannes, Monaco and St-Tropez have long attracted the rich and famous to their glittering shores. With its old-world charm, modern-day decadence and superb setting on Angel Bay, Nice is another of the Cote d’Azur’s most irresistible destinations. Wander the city’s elegant seafront avenues past superb turn-of-the-century architecture; stroll along the Des Anglais promenade, with its views over bays and beaches, or admire the amazing array of fresh produce at the city’s vibrant fruit and flower market. One of the most scenic towns is Èze, with its medieval stone houses and snaking lanes on a rugged 420-metre peak set against a cobalt Mediterranean background, while the quaint medieval village of Grasse is famous for its exquisite perfumes and redolent lavender fields.
