The French Riviera has a history of glamour, decadence and a celebrity playboy and girl! culture that has attracted fun, sun, sea and sand lovers for centuries. All this still exists with millionaire yachts dropping anchor in Saint Tropez, Cannes and Monaco, but, there is so much more to discover.

Nice, Antibes, Cannes and Villefranche boast old towns dating back to the 17th century. Just back from the sea you can find the picture perfect villages of Haut de Cagnes, St-Paul-de-Vence and Eze. Hire a car and the dramatic Gorge du loup is easily accessible for a day trip. Immerse yourself in the rich culture and history from the art galleries of Matisse and Picasso to the Palais Princier in Monaco, and the Italianate past that is visible throughout the eastern part of the Riviera. With Italy a thirty minute train ride away a day trip is a must.

One of the best kept secrets is the Southern Alps. In an hour and half you can be skiing in the resorts of Isola 2000 or Auron. So take your pick from sun, sea, snow, ski, countryside and culture and enjoy the variety of the French Riviera.
