Discover the French Riviera
The French Riviera, in its broadest definition, stretches along the Mediterranean coastline, from Hyères in the Var to Menton on the Italian border.
The Mediterranean Climate
The French Riviera benefits from a mild and pleasant climate all year round. From February, the mimosa trees begin to bloom, marking the arrival of spring. The mild temperatures and sunshine make this region a popular destination.
A Glamorous Coastline and a Preserved Hinterland
The coastline of the French Riviera, from Cannes to Menton, is heavily urbanized, with world-renowned seaside resorts. However, the hinterland retains an authentic charm that has attracted artists throughout the 20th century. Personalities such as Picasso in Mougins, Chagall in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, and Cocteau in Menton found inspiration in the unique light of the region.
