The Riviera is choc full of glamorous towns and resorts, not to mention picturesque hill top villages in the Provençal foothills. Just a few kilomentres away is Cannes, scene of the famous film festival and long time haunt of the rich and famous. A little further away, but still within easy driving distance is the city of fabulous Nice; meander through the warren of streets in the old town, go shopping in the flower markets, or hop on the open-topped tourist bus.
Capital of the French Riviera, Nice boasts a wonderful array of shops, markets and of course beaches. Meander through the narrow streets of the old town, visit one of the great museums, then stroll along the world famous Promenade des Anglais - be warned its nearly 8km long!.
Drive (or sail) along the coast to Monaco - the second smallest country in the world. Visit the Grimaldi Palace and watch the changing of the guard, then take a peek in the extraordinarily lavish Monte Carlo Casino, then try out one of the many fabulous restaurants.
Up in the hills is the perfume capital of the world. Home to perfumery since the 16th century, there are still around 30 makers here - take a guided tour of a factory and hone your olfactory skills! In the picturesque old town tiny streets wind between 17th and 18th century buildings, up and down ancient steps, passing through arched tunnels.
Fréjus has a whole host of events and festivals throughout the year. One of the main events not to be missed is the ‘Fête du Raisin’ in August – there are traditional dances on the steps of the cathedral, wine tastings and market stalls.
There's plenty of watersports to try along the coast, while for those seeking gentler pursuits, there are two golf courses just 10km away. For those wanting to explore on two wheels, there are some good cycling routes nearby - try the long Cannes to Nice route; an intermediate ride that takes in the pretty town of Antibes.
