Destinations
The Côte d’Azur, otherwise known as the French Riviera, has been synonymous with chic elegance and lofty living for well over a century, however, its heyday was during the 1950s and ’60s, when practically everyone who was anyone seemed to have upped sticks and bought a duplex apartment along its pebble-strewn shores.
It’s still a playground for the rich and beautiful, especially at stylish resorts such as Nice, Cannes, St-Tropez and of course the epitome of extravagance, Monte Carlo – but less well-heeled visitors will find plenty to entertain them too
Elsewhere there are the perfumed streets of Grasse, the balmy beaches of Menton and the history stained cobbles of Frejus and St-Raphael to explore.
