French Riviera
Trip Planning & Itineraries
The French Riviera is a legend in its own time. Renoirs, Matisses and Picassos in and around Nice, Cannes and St-Tropez lure tourists by the millions - as does Grace Kelly's Monaco, the chestnut-studded Massif des Maures, the rocky-red Estérel and Alpine foothills that plummet precipitously into the Med east of Nice.
Cats on leads, dogs in handbags and prima donnas dusting sand from toes with shaving brushes are madcap sights to savor on this frenetic coastal strip.

Seasonal Events in Cannes
For 12 days in May, Cannes becomes the centre of the cinematic universe. Over 30,000 producers, distributors, directors, publicists, stars and hangers-on descend on Cannes each year to buy, sell or promote more than 2,000 films.
Not surprisingly, it's the banknotes of the affluent, spent with absolute nonchalance, that keep Cannes' exorbitant hotels, restaurants, boutiques, nightclubs and liner-sized yachts in business. All the wealth is truly hypnotic: revel in the luxury, even if second-hand, and play spot-the-celeb, -bodyguard or shady millionaire.
Luckily, between Cannes and Nice there is enough natural beauty to make a trip very worthwhile: the harbors, bays, and beaches all spring to life on sunny days.
