French riviera

Our French Riviera section takes you along the sunny Mediterranean coast of southeastern France, with its turquoise water, hilltop villages and famous towns such as Nice, Cannes and Saint-Tropez, and further west the calanques and fishing villages around Cassis.

Between beaches, coastal hikes, Provençal markets and Mediterranean food, our articles share the places we loved and our tips to enjoy the Riviera beyond the crowds.
