The Cote d'Azur is the region of south-east France that runs along the coast from Bandol, west of Toulon, to Menton and the Italian border in the east. Cote d'Azur therefore includes part of the coastal Bouches-du-Rhone department and the southern edges of the Var and Alpes-Maritimes departments. Often the section of coast closest to Italy is also known as the French Riviera.
The Mediterranean coast (Cote d'Azur / Riviera) of south-east France includes such renowned resorts as Nice, Antibes, Saint-Tropez and Cannes. Rich, exclusive, sophisticated...and often rather crowded. There are also many smaller villages and towns along the coast and in the hills slightly inland which you can explore when the beaches, shopping, crowds and glamour all becomes a bit tiring.
