Why Should You Visit the French Riviera?
There is no other place like the French Riviera, when it involves seeing and also being seen. From the famous Cannes Film Festival being held here to the incredible excess of yachts, you are guaranteed to have world-class people watching here, especially at the high-end restaurants and hotels that cater to the region’s own glamour. The nightlife on the French Riviera is great as well. With a different spot for each hour of the day, you will not ever suffer from being dressed up with no place to go. You could start off with Nikki Beach located in Saint-Tropez, which is a hotspot for international travelers. You could sip on some cocktails at Le Meridien, which is a very iconic spot situated right on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, or you could dance the night away under the palm trees in La Baoli located in Cannes. Shopping here is fun too. From Prada to Chanel, the iconic Cercle d’Or in Monte Carlo is another go-to location if you like shopping. Art in the French Riviera is excellent as well. Famous painters like Picasso, Renoir, Chagall, Monet, and others have all been drawn to the beauty of Cote d’Azur, and their lasting impressions are seen at different museums nearby.
What Makes the French Riviera a Great Vacation Spot?
This area of France is very beautiful, and is also known for its incredible sea views, clear and turquoise water, picturesque towns, and incredible cuisine.
