This
region has attracted visitors for centuries and has some of
the most iconic resorts in the world – Nice, Cannes and
Monte Carlo to name a few. Craggy headlands protect
beautiful beaches and fabulous yachting marinas like St
Tropez. There are more traditional coastal resorts like the
pretty artist port of St Raphaël and
the Roman town of Fréjus. Inland, beautiful old towns and
villages hide away in the fragrant Esterel hills, which are
home to some world-famous perfumeries near to Grasse. The
Gorges du Verdon (the Grand Canyon of Europe) and the
beautiful Lake St Cassien form a spectacular backdrop to the
region. Further east the Alpes-Maritimes form the border
with Italy, with incredible views over coastal towns like
Menton. |
