Stretching from the border of Italy all the way past Cannes and into the charming hilltop villages with expansive sea views, the coastline of the French Riviera is legendary—not only for its epic landscapes, but for its effortlessly chic and seemingly carefree lifestyle. It’s not hard to see why artists, Europeans, celebrities and jetsetters alike are drawn to this iconic holiday hot spot.
Work with Indagare to design the perfect itinerary for an immersive journey. Our travel experts know the destination inside and out, and they can make recommendations based on your travel needs and preferences.
Indagare can organize personal shopping, wine tastings and cooking classes that will enrich your experience of the French Riviera. Here is just one example of what our destination experts can create for you.
Explore the beautiful landscape and picturesque towns of the Côte d’Azur, including Nice, Cannes, Eze, St.-Paul-de-Vence and Antibes. The best way to soak up the glamorous region is to mix time at your hotel with visits to nearby sites, including the Picasso Museum; Fondation Maeght; lunch at La Colombe d’Or; and strolling the perched medieval villages’ vaulted narrow streets and shops. Don’t miss a day boating to the Lérins Islands and surrounding picturesque beach clubs.
Today, do the scenic village circuit, visiting Grasse, Le Bar-Sur-Loup, Gourdon and Tourettes-Sur-Loup in the morning. Outdoor enthusiasts also will enjoy some of France’s most spectacular parks nearby. Esterel National Park is the easiest to reach. Perched above Theoule-sur-mer and overlooking the spectacular stretch of red rock Esterel cliffs and secret turquoise inlets, the fragrant Mediterranean plants and flowers of every variety are well worth the uphill trek.
Drive or take a helicopter to St.Tropez, a modern jet-setter’s paradise. Attractions here include the picturesque central square; the Old Port where the mega-yachts moor; designer boutiques tucked into a maze of 16th-century streets; and the beaches of Pamplonne. Other nearby attractions include spectacular gardens, golf courses and top vineyards. With dozens of hotels catering to different styles and needs, let Indagare customize your accommodations and dining experiences.
We only feature hotels that we can vouch for first-hand. At many of them, Indagare members receive special amenities, including upgrades, early check-in, breakfast, spa credits and more. Look for the Indagare Plus logo in the reviews.
