Country and People
Customs / Culture
The Cote d’Azur has been home to many visitors over the centuries and influences of past visitors from Greece, Rome, Britain and America can be readily seen. The international flavour gives the Cote d’Azur a unique role within France and, apart from the weather, explains why it is the most popular destination for both artists and holidaymakers.
Traditions
Glamour is the great tradition of the Cote d’Azur also known as the playground of the rich. There is nowhere else on earth that offers the combination of sea, sand, sophistication and culture, quite so successfully as France’s Cote d’Azur.
Religion
Various invaders have brought their own customs and religions but Roman Catholicism is definitely the most widely practised religion today

Getting Around
Airports / Car rental
Nice Airport is France’s third busiest airport and serves the whole of the Cote d’Azur although there is a small private airport at Mandelieu. Renting a car at Nice Airport is not a problem although it is wise at the height of the season to book in advance.
Public Transport
Trains, coaches and local buses serve the Cote d’Azur well and so, for those on a limited budget or who cannot drive, getting around is not a problem.

Culinary SpecialitiesThe Cote d’Azur restaurants are used to serving visitors from all over the world and often cleverly devise menus that reflect France’s reputation for haute cuisine but modify the choice for a wide variety of international palates including those from the Far East, Middle East, Britain and America.
Lifestyle
Life along the Cote d’Azur is good for those people who live and work in the area. There is no doubt that the international financial crisis has impacted on the Cote d’Azur to some extent but the super rich, by and large, have been unaffected by the global crisis and still anchor their massive yachts off-shore, stepping onto dry land to eat and be seen in some of the Cote d’Azur’s finest restaurants in Saint Tropez and Cannes.
Sights
The British during the reign of Queen Victoria were the prime movers in converting the south of France into a tourist destination. In the hills above Nice in Cimiez is an elaborate monument to Queen Victoria who spent many long winters living in the region.
The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild was built during the first decade of the 20th century by Baroness Beatrice de Rothschild. She filled the rose-coloured villa with paintings and sculptures and a fine collection of rare porcelain. Following her death, the property was left to the Academy of Beautiful Arts and is open to the public.

The hotel has a dreamlike location on Corniche d'Azur. At the breakfast and dinner you can enjoy the view over the bay. The garden rooms are absolutely quiet and are located on a beautifully landscaped inner courtyard. The rooms with view of the sea lay directly above the coast road, and are for those sensitive to noise Gästge not necessarily recommendable. The small bay with sandy beach below the hotel is very clean and well maintained. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Alain also sp... Read more

The hotel was located directly on the coastal street, about five minutes from St Tropez, ten minutes from port Grimaud and about 15-20 minutes from St. Maxim away.

The rooms (for comfort double rooms) are large and comfortably equipped, the bathroom is divided into a walk-in shower with a window, separate toilet and laundry facilities. Cleanliness, condition and decor of rooms are immaculate. The whole are... Read more

'Premium' not, but okay
Hotel Pierre et Vacances Premium Les Calanques Des Issambres in Les Issambres, Côte d'Azur
Breakfast: no change (except for the fact, that the fruit was moldy, sometimes not), extra wishes (such as eggs), are not fulfilled. Dinner: good, two or three main dishes to choose from (even if it only noodles with three different sauces to choose from were). But the dinner was good overall. Offers for children does not exist; even in the pool is the ball for children prohibited by law. Across the street from the hotel: small public sandy beach with good, but expensive, dining. About 300 me... Read more
