Why Cote d'Azur?

The French Riviera is famous for its glittering tourism. Sophisticated waterfront bars and restaurants are bountiful, where you'll find the champagne flowing and a seemingly endless supply of fruits of the sea, namely oysters, scallops and tiger prawns. They sit alongside sparkling harbours filled with trillions of pounds' worth of superyachts and decadent designer boutiques offering the most luxurious international brands the world has to offer.

Popular areas to stay in Cote d'Azur

Stuck on where to go? Check out the best resorts and towns to base your holiday

Saint-Tropez

Famous artists used to spend their summers in this one-time sleepy fishing village, but then 1950s movie siren Brigitte Bardot put it in the spotlight while filming And God Created Woman. Ever since, it’s attracted the international jet set. At the Vieux Port, huge yachts tussle for the best spots. You can still catch glimpses of St-Tropez’s past in the charming cobbled La Ponche quarter.

Who is it for?

Couples

Watch a game of petanque, meander the lanes of the old fishing area and have afternoon tea at a cafe on Place des Lices.

Beach Lovers

Pampelonne is the longest and most popular stretch of sand.

Night Owls

Not surprisingly, the nightlife in St-Tropez is a glitzy affair. The Caves du Roy club is the place to be seen.
