The essentials

Sights & nature

The village of Saint-Tropez and its Place des Lices, the Lérins islands off Cannes, the coastal path of Cap d'Antibes, the gardens of Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild on Cap Ferrat and the hilltop village of Èze above the sea: the Riviera is one panorama after another.

Going out & dining

Club 55 on Pampelonne beach since 1955, La Guérite on Île Sainte-Marguerite, the private beaches of the Croisette, Paloma Beach on Cap Ferrat and the great tables of Monaco: every stop along the coast has its legendary addresses.

Activities & experiences

A day on a yacht between Saint-Tropez, Cannes and Monaco, a helicopter transfer, a walk around Cap Ferrat, an evening at the Monte-Carlo Casino or golf in the hinterland: the Riviera is lived as much on the water as on land.

Traditions & events

The Cannes Film Festival in May, the Monaco Grand Prix in early June, the Saint-Tropez Bravade in mid-May, the Monte-Carlo Masters in spring and Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez in late September: the Riviera season moves to the rhythm of its great events.
