Favorite seaside resort of many generations of celebrities, the Cote D’azur is the dream Made in France of every viveur. What better occasion than the Cannes Film Festival for a trip to discover this sparkling and super blue paradise?
Let’s start with the basics: Cote D’Azur is the stretch of coast that from Menton arrives in Cannes and is one of the most famous in Europe. And those who think that it’s impossible to enjoy a dream sea in France will have to change their minds! The landscape that these places offers is made of sunny beaches on a turquoise sea together with colorful and picturesque villages behind the riviera.
Favorite destination not only of celebs from all over the world, but also of all those who love the most fashionable and less wild side of the sea life, Cote D’Azur is a place that is able to offer unusual routes that will leave you speechless. Are you ready to discover the amazing beaches, ’20’s inspired mansions and super chic boutiques of these unique places? Here all the unmissable steps to do in the French Riviera.
PRINCIPALITY OF MONACO – The luxurious bay
This iper chic stretch of coast is considered its real gem for some time… gem by all means! Among the splendid yatch at the harbour, the casino and the haute couture malls, Montecarlo (central district of the principality) has lately become the fav destination of who’s not afraid to flaunt. Half a day here is enough, besides the most chic and rich shopping streets we suggest you to visit the upper town to discover the most historic and less artificial part of the city. Admire the beautiful cathedral, the lively Avenue de Grand Bretagne and enjoy the relax at the Japanese gardens. Oh, before leaving, don’t miss the chance to have an aperitif at the pool side of the Nikky Beach, just like hippie chic IT-Girls do.
Once you’ll leave Monaco, continue towards Saint Jean Cap Ferrat with its amazing landscapes made of sea and Bouganville flowers. Make a stop in Cap Ferrat to visit Villa Ephrussi de Rothshild: a pink paradise where you can visit unique collections of furnitures and porcelain, getting lost in its princely gardens (#instaapproved)
CANNES – Between cinema and vanity
Once visited the colorful town of Villefranche sur Mer, which is not far from Nice and its famous flowers market and Promenade des Anglais, you’ll arrive in Cannes. Here, besides the iper famous Croisette we suggest you to visit Rue Meynadier to discover the most authentic and unspoilt part of the city. But we know that the Cannes international du film has a particular appeal on all of us, so above all in these days, don’t miss the parade of actors, directors and celebrities from all over the world that will show off on the red carpet their most amazing looks.
SAINT TROPEZ – the Paris of the Riviera
Continuing towards Antibes and Roquebrune you’ll arrive in the super loved Saint Tropez. Must-see stop of the all the souls out there with a strong mundane vocation, its pastel colors that fade from pink to baby blue are a rainbow of emotions…literally. Saint Tropez is not only the fav catwalk of all the haute couture’s victims, but also a super nice city made both of luxurious yatch and houses with flaming red rooftops and a fascinating old town. Visit the streets of the La Ponche fishing district, the Eglise de Saint-Tropez and the Musée de l’anonciade… leaving a short free half hour to give yourself one of the iconic à la tropezienne sandals.
