The French Riviera, also known as the Côte d’Azur, is part of the region of Alpes Maritimes. It is undoubtedly a popular spot for secondary home-owners or vacationers with its sun-secure climate and being easily accessible by many countries via the Nice airport. The region's influence of European royalty from long ago is still very apparent, and many famous celebrities and other influential individuals have called it their “home” for decades. The French Riviera includes a plethora of glamorous and chic seaside resorts, making it one of the most sophisticated and affluent parts of the world.
One can enjoy the best of both worlds by purchasing a property inland or on one of the peninsulas, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Cap d’Antibes or Cap-Martin which are in high demand. By doing so, you can experience a peaceful life away from the burst of activity of the busy neighborhoods and tourists, while still being close enough to enjoy the vibrant life in the neighboring cities like Cannes, Nice or Monaco when you're in the mood for it.
The areas around the French Riviera each have something unique to offer, providing something for everyone. Antibes, with its iconic coastline and picturesque village, has inspired some of the most talented artists to ever live, while Cannes, famous for its film festival, draws in Hollywood's elite every year. Set on a hilltop, the village of Èze has castle ruins and medieval streets filled with galleries and gourmet restaurants, while Menton's Italian influence adds a special charm to its atmosphere. Monaco, although not big in size, boasts a vibrant nightlife, a variety of dining experiences, and all the high-street brands you can imagine.
The French Riviera offers something for everyone. Wherever you choose to settle, you'll find yourself surrounded by the majestic environment that this region has to offer. Whether it's the exclusive peninsulas, the peaceful inland areas, or the vibrant cities, living on the French Riviera is an experience that only grows better with time.
