| Cote D'Azur |
| The once-sleepy fishing villages of this French coast evolved into bastions of ne plus ultra glamour years ago, but long before the red carpets and international society arrived, the world’s most famous artists were here, drawn by the unique colors and light. You’re still reminded of that while watching a rosy pink sunset from the Croisette in Cannes or a waterfront café in Antibes and of the earthiness beneath the glitz by wandering the fragrant food markets in St. Tropez, Antibes and Nice. Why Go: Gorgeous light, chic waterfront cafés, the patina of glamour. When to Go: May (particularly for the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix), June, July, August and September. Essential Ports: Cannes, Nice, Monaco, St. Jean Cap Ferrat, Villefranche, Beaulieu sur Mer, Eze, Antibes, Juan Les Pins and St. Tropez. Essential Experiences: The medieval streets Mougin, the galleries of Fondation Maeght just outside of the old town walls of St. Paul de Vence, a drive along the Grand Corniche at sunset, or play your hand at the Belle Epoch Casino de Monte-Carlo. Local favorite: Lunch at Le Club 55 followed by one of Alexandre Micka’s tarte Tropéziennes in St. Tropez. Clubbing at the VIP Room, seafood at La Mer Germaine in Villefranche. |
