French Cote d'Azur is located in the south of the country. They stretch along the southeast side of the Mediterranean Sea. The Cote d' Azur is a magical place that managed to combine everything: magnificent landscapes, wonderful climate, sea and the best hotels. And, of course, a wide variety of entertainments that are suitable for both young tourists and couples who have lived together for many, many years, and for the smallest generation.
Rest on the Cote d'Azur is affordable, as a rule, only to wealthy people who come here for loud festivals and discos, casinos and restaurants.
You can get here by high-speed train, which runs 3-4 times daily from Paris to each resort city. Typically, the trip takes approximately 5-6 hours.
At most resorts: in Antibes, Saint-Tropez, Cannes and Juan-les-Pins - sandy beaches, but in Nice and other recreation areas - pebble.
All of them are at the disposal of the authorities, so admission there is free. On municipal beaches there is no equipment for recreation and there are always a lot of people. But quite often they are rented to hotels or rich people. In this case, the entrance to the beach can cost about 20 EUR in one day. The price for one ticket includes payment for the use of a mattress, sunbed, umbrella and shower. However, not everything is so sad. Most 4-star hotels are ready to offer their customers a 50% discount on entry.
As a rule, the beaches here are not wide. Even in the capital of these places, namely in the city of Nice, the Cote d'Azur reaches only 30-40 m.
Almost every hotel has a high level of service. Each room must have air conditioning, but the pool in hotels, unfortunately, is a rarity. Even some 4-star hotels cannot boast of its availability.
But the Cote d'Azur is not only rich in restaurants or casinos. Here, as in every normal country, there are sights. Due to the small distances between the resort towns, tourists can easily visit all the interesting sites. If you wish, you can take a car and quickly drive to neighboring Italy and take a walk there, visit San Remo or Genoa.
However, let's go back to the Cote d'Azur and talk about their own attractions. Each tourist will be interested to get acquainted with the ancient town of Eze, go to Beaulieu-sur-Mer or Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, organize an excursion to Marineland, where you can ride on water slides or sea waves, watch dolphins and killer whales, as well as check your own nervous system by walking along the seabed with sharks.
But if you do not want extreme sports, then it is better to go to Saint-Paul-de-Vence. This is an ancient fortified city, where the world-famous Golden Dove hotel is located. This hotel is a real gallery where you can see paintings by all the famous artists who have ever stayed here. Near it is the Museum of Musical Instruments, built in 1750. It is also very interesting to walk around the Maekht Foundation complex, where moving sculptures are collected.
