Provencal Authenticity and Hospitality
French Riviera - Nice - Cannes - Antibes - Grasse - Parc du Mercantour
The Alps and the Mediterranean Sea give the Alpes Maritimes a character full of contrasts, offering a unique symbiosis between the azure waters and the Alpine peaks. Bordering the Mediterranean, the coastline of the Alpes Maritimes enjoys an exceptionally mild climate, where the remarkable amount of sunshine irresistibly draws visitors to the famous Côte d'Azur and its popular seaside resorts.
It was here, in the Alpes Maritimes, that modern tourism emerged at the end of the 19th century, initially reserved for a social elite. From Cannes to Menton, passng by Antibes, Nice and Monaco, the sun-drenched beaches and crystal-clear waters attract an impressive number of holidaymakers. But the hinterland reveals a completely different face, that of a mountainous region with typical Alpine landscapes. The Mercantour National Park is one of the most beautiful nature reserves in Europe, offering a peaceful escape in the heart of unspoilt nature.
The ski resorts of Auron and Isola 2000 attract winter sports enthusiasts with a full range of mountain activities, from skiing to hiking and other winter pastimes. Iconic cultural events also punctuate the year in the Alpes Maritimes, including the famous Cannes Film Festival, the colourful Nice Carnival and the picturesque Fête du Citron in Menton.
Travel through the Alpes Maritimes to discover the perfect harmony between the blue of the Mediterranean Sea and the immaculate white of the Alpine peaks, offering an unforgettable tourist experience, between seaside relaxation and mountain adventures.
