The French Riviera-Côte
d'Azur stretches along the Mediterranean at the foot of the last
outcrop of the Alpine chain. Thanks to its southern situation, the
proximity of the sea, the full southern exposure and, above all,
to the screen of high mountains which protect it from the cold continental
winds, it enjoys an exceptionally high winter temperature. Its privileged
position means that the slopes are covered with tropical vegetation:
orange and aloe, cactus and eucalyptous, rose-laurel, bougainvillea
and mimosa.
In under two
hours you can travel from the palms and lemon trees of the coast
to the nearby Alpine peak for coolness in the summer and snowsports
in winter. With such a number of attractive features combined with
the variety and quality of entertainment and the multitude of hotels
and villas, it is no wonder that it attracts visitors from all over
both in summer-time and wintertime.
