Few areas in the world offer the distinctive elegance, historical impact, and whimsical opulence of the French Côte d'Azur. In Nice, Baroque and Belle Époque architecture stands beneath a Mediterranean sun in the region that inspired artists like Matisse and Chagall, Nietzsche and Tolstoi, to name but a few. Quaint buildings stand on narrow streets lined with art, food and flower vendors, and the charming alliance of French and Italian culture is an affair of singular appeal for the discerning traveler.

The tiny sovereign state of Monaco exudes a peculiar aura of tasteful extravagance. World-renowned for its urbane atmosphere and chic nightlife, it's a playground for international aristocracy and the glitterati. The euphoric milieu of the Côte d'Azur is a peerless Eden for high-living players, art lovers, culinary connoisseurs, and romantics.
