It's a firm favourite with the likes of Diddy, the Beckhams and Elton John - it is, of course, the timeless Cote d'Azur. With it's scenic views, perfect weather and pervading air of understated glamour, the French Riveria has much to offer even the most jaded traveller.

And covering an area from Cassis to Menton, near the border of Italy - the Cote d'Azur encompasses every glam hotspot from Nice and Monaco to St Tropez.

When you get there

Take the train
With such an expansive area to cover, why not explore the coast a little differently than usual and jump on the Train Of Marvels? This sightseeing express train travelling from Nice to Tende will give you the perfect chance to sit back and take in the breathtaking views as you peer into the rich visual offerings of the Roya and Bévéra Valleys.

Visit Cagnes-Sur-Mer

If you want to stay off the beaten track somewhere a bit quieter, explore the village of Cagnes-Sur-Mer. Nestled between Nice and Cannes, this idyllic town is the perfect place to escape from all the hustle and bustle of city life. Head there to enjoy the different festivals, fetes and shows the city plays host to. Or alternatively, indulge in the water sports and seaside facilities on offer.

Cruise along
If money is no object, spend your days lounging the length of the Cote d'Azur on a yacht. With a cocktail in one hand and your best Naomi Campbell pose, sit back and bask in the sun and the Dubai-rivalling blue skies overhead.
