These are the best hotels on the Cote d'Azur!
You can find a range of luxury accommodation on the beautiful French Riviera, but the Maybourne Riviera is truly something special.
The Cote d'Azur, also known as the French Riviera, is famous for its stunning beaches and crystal clear sea, all of which is spiced up by the glamor and prestige of its cities. The region in the south-east of France, along the Mediterranean coast, is a popular holiday destination for the cream of Europe's stars.
In fact, no one will tell us exactly where the borders of Provence are. We simply feel it and know we are there. The hypnotic blue of lavender plantations, the smell of rosemary, the unusual beauty of wild nature, the powerful north-west mistral wind, magnificent medieval fortresses and castles, romantic villages on hills, melodious Provençal dialect, fashionable life by the sea.
The promenade along the Mediterranean coast with palm trees immodestly enjoying the sun is a happy contrast to the pastel-colored old town, which offers entertainment for different tastes and smells throughout the year. Today, Nice, with almost 500,000 inhabitants, is a modern tourist, cultural, industrial and university center.
