The Côte d'Azur
|
|||||||
| One of the advantages of living on the Cote d’Azur is that the mountains are so close to the coast.
Within two hours, you can leave the beach, and be skiing down a mountain in one of the numerous ski resorts. From Cannes to Nice passing through Antibes and Menton towards the Italien border, is one of the most prestigious coastlines in the world, boasting some of the most luxurious residences. The Cote d’Azur is renowned for it's sandy beaches, the “Croisette” in Cannes and the “Promenade des Anglais” in Nice. Both towns have also kept their traditional “old town” where you will find flower and food markets. Between these two cities there are also some magnificent medieval villages (St. Paul, Vence, Mougins, Les Hauts de Cagnes). In most of these villages you will find numerous art galleries and artisan shops selling local products and artifacts. The countryside is also rich with Mediterranean vegetation, as you drive through you will inhale the wonderful aromas of pine trees, thyme, lavender and abundant fruit trees. For this reason Grasse has become the perfume capital of the world. |
