Riviera Francesa
Where to stayThe French Riviera (Côte d'Azur) is a vast region that requires a strategic choice of base. In 2026, the accommodation market is focusing on authentic experiences, with high demand for properties that blend contemporary design with historical preservation.
- Nice: The gateway to the region and the best strategic base. Its central location makes it easy to use the regional trains (TER) to explore the entire coast. The Vieux Nice (Old Town) neighborhood is vibrant and charming, while the Promenade des Anglais offers beachfront luxury.
- Cannes: Focused on luxury, major events, and nightlife. The area around the Palais des Festivals and the Le Suquet district are the most sought-after spots.
- Antibes/Juan-les-Pins: The perfect balance between sandy beaches, nightlife, and the charm of a historic walled city. Ideal for families.
- Monaco: An ultra-luxury destination. Recommended for short, sophisticated stays due to the high price points.
- Safety and Transportation: The region is extremely safe. Using the regional train (SNCF) is highly recommended over renting a car, as parking is scarce and traffic is intense during the summer (July/August).
