A geological wonder bounded by the French Alps to the north and the Mediterranea Sea to the south, the Côte d'Azur—often known in English as the French Riviera—stretches from the Italian border to urban Toulon. Beaches, quaint fishing ports, and opulent architecture line the coast. The mention anywhere in the world of Nice, Cannes, Monte Carlo, St. Tropez, Antibes, or Juan les Pins evokes glamour and a sense of nostalgia. Coastal towns are strung along a chain of dramatic hills peppered with vineyards and olive groves. The pristine mountains, too, have ancient villages and wandering roads to explore.
