French Riviera - Cote d'Azur news, what's on, things to do and travel tips



French garden elegance in the Cote d’Azur villa Ephrussi de Rothschild.Located in a wonderful situation on the summit of a peninsula at St Jean Cap Ferrat the gardens of the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild are amongst the most stunning in France.I visited in November and was surprised at how beautiful the gardens were even so late in the year. You can visit the gardens which in my opinion are the main attraction as well as the villa itself which is fully furnished.In fact you can combine a visit to the Villa Ephrussi with the unusual Villa Grecque...

Saint Tropez Regatta is tops for spectators, at least that’s my opinion.

Saint Tropez harbour is absolutely beautiful at this time of year and the view from up on the hill by the ramparts is just perfect.You can get up close on the quay and watch the crews prepare and set sail amidst a vast flotilla of all sorts of craft. It’s...

Cresci restaurant Cannes, French Riviera is one of the biggest and most popular restaurants in Cannes.Cresci in Cannes is one of a small chain of Cresci restaurants with a particular style of décor which is old Provence, warm and friendly. It has a large open terrace overlooking the harbor at Cannes and is without a doubt one of the best located restaurants in Cannes.The best thing in our opinion about the Crespi are the excellent pizza which are oven baked, with loads of topping and intense with flavor. They are extremely copious but the taste is...
