Bed and breakfasts in Alpes-Maritimes, between the Côte d’Azur and Mercantour
Alpes-Maritimes: Riviera, hinterland and high valleys
The Mediterranean at the foot of the Alps
In the Alpes-Maritimes, the Mediterranean and the mountains stand unusually close together. The Côte d'Azur coastline links towns and ports from Cannes to Menton, while the hinterland quickly rises towards Alpine valleys and the landscapes of the Mercantour.
Nice, Cannes, Menton and the Riviera
From Cannes to Nice, from Antibes to Menton, the Riviera brings together promenades, markets, museums, gardens, festivals and seaside resorts. A stay here is urban, coastal and cultural, shaped by the distinctive light that helped define the image of the Côte d'Azur.
Hilltop villages and Mercantour valleys
Inland, the department changes character quickly. Hilltop villages, the Tinée and Vésubie valleys, then the Mercantour National Park open onto a more Alpine Provence, cooler and more mineral, well suited to walking and quieter stays.
A destination for every season
The Alpes-Maritimes also follow the rhythm of events and seasons: the Cannes Film Festival, Nice Carnival, the Menton Lemon Festival, and mountain resorts such as Auron and Isola 2000. A single stay can combine the coast, inland villages and mountain roads.
