Cannes

Cannes, France

Undoubtedly one of the most popular vacation spots in France, Nice attracts people from all over the world, and although the beaches tend to get especially crowded during the summer, the scenery is absolutely gorgeous anytime of the year. What I enjoyed most was just strolling around this lovely old town, taking in the gorgeous view of the coastline from la Colline du Chateau, and devouring exquisite meals at one of the many fine restaurants. Watching the sunset and listening to the street performers on la Promenade des Anglais was a wonderful way to end the evenings.

The Coast of Blue

Côte d’Azur, “The Coast of Blue.” See some of the best and the most varied shades of blue—skies, seas—along this Mediterranean coastline. This region of France is home to some of the most charming and elegant cities, posh cars, trendy hotels and restaurants, and palm trees swaying in the coastal breeze. And, the jewel in the crown of the French Riviera—the sun-drenched beaches.

Café Roma

Great café on the water with a ton of outdoor seating overlooking the French Riviera. Stop in for happy hour and enjoy some affordable drinks—and, of course, the gourmet crepes!
