Overview

CANNES

The city’s Old Port offers luxurious boutiques and casinos, while Le Suquet, or Old Town, provides a look into the area’s more traditional past. A stroll along Cannes’ winding streets, captivating churches, and clock towers reminds one of an earlier, more humble period.

A short boat ride from Cannes brings vacationers to the lush, historic Île Sainte-Marguerite, dating back to ancient Roman times. Here, bird-watchers can get a close-up view of swans, herons, falcons and more at the isle’s Étang du Batéguier pond, while nature lovers will enjoy the fragrant eucalyptus, pines and expansive views.

History buffs will appreciate the 17th-century Fort Royal, where France's most infamous prisoner, the Man in the Iron Mask, was once confined.

Cannes’ old quarter, with its quaint houses, winding alleyways, and impressive Château de Cannes, offer an authentic view of Provence; while upscale hotels, shops, and Allée des Étoiles, Cannes’ walk of fame, provide a more modern picture.

 

NICE

Sitting peacefully amidst azure Mediterranean seas, Nice has welcomed vacationers and renowned artists for centuries, such as beloved Henri Matisse, who spent his entire life in the city, and French-Russian modernist Marc Chagall. Museums, such as Musée Matisse and Musée Chagall, have been built here in their honor. Vacationers searching for something a bit more modern will enjoy the Musée d’art Moderne et d’art Contemporain (MAMAC).

Or simply admire Nice’s inspirational views.  A ride or stroll along the Promenade des Anglais features grand views of the sparkling Mediterranean. Those more musically inclined should visit the baroque-style Palais Lascaris in Old Nice, built during the early 17th century. A collection of 500 or so rare musical instruments line its halls, adorned with colorful frescoes.

The regional capital of the exquisite French Riviera, Nice displays its charms in a more low-key fashion than neighboring Saint-Tropez or star-studded Cannes. Together, they create the perfect French Riviera holiday.

 

MONTE CARLO

The business district of the world’s second smallest independent state of Monaco, Monte Carlo has a lot to offer. The views alone of rich blue Mediterranean seas and lush mountains are worth the trip. From jazz festivals, eclectic museums, opera and ballet to high-stakes gambling and grand prix car races, Monte Carlo keeps visitors on the move.

The historic Oceanographic Museum, founded by Prince Albert I, is built right onto the Rock of Monaco. Breathtaking Monte Carlo Harbor provides the perfect ambiance for daydreaming and people watching. Dedicated to the city’s patron saint, the understated Chapelle Sainte Devote dates back to the 11th century, and is frequently visited by Monaco’s royal family. Enticing Japanese Gardens offer more delightful scenery in a city overflowing with enchanting vistas.

At night, crowds dress up in their finest attire to attend an entertaining evening at the opulent Opera de Monte-Carlo. It doesn’t get much better than this, as grand culture and high society mix with alluring views of azure seas in romantic Monte Carlo.
