The French Riviera
The Cote d'Azur (French Riviera) has a glamour all of its own. From Marseille to Portofino the coastline is laced with beautiful bays, bustling towns, designer boutiques, excellent restaurants and legendary beaches. Cannes is lined with grand hotels and elegant promenades while Nice, a Mecca for artists, is charming with its own narrow streets and colourful markets. Monaco is as exclusive and exciting as its grand prix and world famous elegant casino. Across the border on the Italian Riviera, Portofino is easily reached by an overnight cruise across the Bay of Genoa, this is one of the most picturesque ports in the Mediterranean.
