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.
