France’s beautiful Mediterranean coast, known as the Cote d'Azur or French Riviera, includes such renowned resorts as Nice, Antibes, Saint-Tropez and Cannes. One of the country’s most visited regions, it includes a stunning coastline, picturesque towns and villages set among vineyards and olive groves, and a variety of holiday rentals to suit your budget. You can really appreciate the Cote d’Azur on a road trip from the bustling and non-touristy Marseille in western Provence, eastward to the vibrant city of Nice.

Along the way, take in the legendary resort towns of Antibes, Saint-Tropez and Cannes. Nice is a major holiday destination in itself, with many fine architectural gems and the excellent Matisse museum. Best visited outside high summer, the small villages and towns along the way make perfect holiday rental destinations and are great for water sports, specialty shopping, and dining.

Nearby Monaco with its Monte Carlo Casino and ostentatious display of wealth might entertain you, and The Monaco Grand Prix is held in the second week of May.
