The French Riviera, or Côte d’Azur, has long been one of Europe’s most glamorous and culturally rich destinations. Stretching from the red cliffs of Théoule-sur-Mer to the Italian border near Menton, this sun-drenched coastline has been a favourite escape since the 19th century, when European aristocrats came for the mild winters and sea air. Over time, it drew artists like Matisse and Picasso, then film stars, designers, and travellers in search of Riviera elegance. Today, its mix of sparkling blue water, palm-lined promenades, and charming old towns keeps the magic alive.

But the Riviera offers more than luxury. The region is steeped in history, from Roman ruins to medieval villages high above the sea. Towns like Nice and Antibes pulse with art, music, and Provençal life. Along the coast, you'll find peaceful coves, vibrant markets, cliffside trails, and world-class museums. This seven-day itinerary blends popular icons with hidden corners, revealing why the Côte d’Azur continues to inspire all who visit—whether you're sipping wine by the harbour or wandering cobbled lanes with the scent of jasmine in the air.
