French Riviera, the legendary Côte d’Azur
The French Riviera, also known as the “Côte d’Azur” in French, is the Mediterranean coastline in the southeast corner of France. It was one of the first modern resort areas for aristocrats, artists, as well as wealthy Americans and Europeans. Today, it remains a home and holiday destination for the upper class, whether in Cannes, Monaco, Saint-Tropez, or Nice. Beyond the ongoing see-and-be-seen lifestyle, the French Riviera also offers a wealth of culture and, above all, delicious gastronomy to discover.
Highlights
Exploring the French Riviera by Yacht
Monaco
Monaco is the second smallest country in the world, yet it teems with life and splendor. It boasts luxury and extravagance with its Old City, the Casino, Monte Carlo, and, especially, for hosting the annual Formula One race.
Monaco is a one-of-a-kind yachting destination. Visit Port Hercule, one of the few, if not the only deep-water port on the French Riviera, go cruising to Marquet Beach for a swim, or simply stay at anchor and enjoy the view of the coastline while relaxing on board your luxury charter yacht.
Nice
Nice, the capital of the Alpes-Maritimes department, lies along the pebble-lined shores of the Baie des Anges and is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful travel destinations along the Côte d´Azur.
With numerous beaches, restaurants, and viewpoints like Castle Hill to discover, you have everything you need to enjoy your time ashore getting lost in the charm of the city. Every February, Nice hosts one of the biggest Carnival events worldwide, a tradition that has been kept alive since 1274.
Cannes
The city of Cannes is especially famous for its film festival and annual boat show, two important and highly popular events that attract numerous celebrities and nautical enthusiasts.
However, there are many more reasons to visit Cannes: its beautiful architecture and historical sites, lovely beaches, and charming restaurants and markets. Off the coast of Cannes, you’ll find the Lerins Islands, with two of them open to visitors: Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat. Both islands offer beautiful views of Cannes, various beaches, and fortresses to explore. With all this in mind, it is no wonder that Cannes is a popular destination in the world of recreational boating.
Saint-Tropez
Saint-Tropez exudes luxury and sophistication. The allure of its pristine beaches is just one of the reasons it makes the perfect and indulgent stop on your luxury yachting vacation along the stunning French Riviera.
Saint-Tropez is brimming with the finest beach clubs, luxury mega yachts, and high-end restaurants. A must-see is the 5-kilometer-long Pampelonne Beach with its beautiful white sand and decadent beach clubs, such as Club 55, Nikki Beach, or Verde Beach.
