The French Riviera region of southern France conjures up images of deep blue seas, winding cliffside roads, and luxurious living. Celebrities and some of the world’s wealthiest people have gravitated to its pleasant climate and breathtaking vistas for the past few centuries. Artists have also been drawn by the area’s vivid colours, where the lush landscape and mountainous regions provide a sun-washed canvass of inspiration.
However, the French Riviera, also known as Côte d'Azur (Blue Coast), is not just for the fabulously rich or the artistically inclined. It’s a popular destination for the average visitor as well, with relatively affordable apartments and hotels—often within walking distance from the beach and the local highlights.
