Spectacular scenery in the Verdon Gorge in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence
The French Riviera is a popular stretch of coastline that extends east from Menton and Monaco to Théoule-sur-Mer and up into the Southern Alps. A health retreat in the 18th century, the area later attracted aristocrats, artists and the 1960s jet set. Picturesque villages, vineyards and pristine beaches dot the land, from Menton’s vibrant splash of hillside colour to the chic relaxation of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and the elegant, white-washed villas of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin.
