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).
