The Cote d’Azur has everything you need to organize your vacation:
• a well-developed network of highways, roads and railways connects with all major cities of France and Europe;
• Nice international airport – Cote d’Azur – ranks first among the airports in the province (even before Marseille) in terms of the number of connections served and the number of passengers (7,000,000 annually).
Holiday attractions.
Holidays on the Cote d’Azur are attractive all year round, thanks to the Mediterranean climate and famous festivals and cultural events taking place throughout the year: Cannes International Film Festival (May), Nice Carnival (February), Lemon Festival in Menton (February). It is difficult to name everything that makes this region so attractive to tourists of all ages: museums, exhibitions, shops, the zoo, the sea, casinos, nightclubs, theater and cabaret shows, and so on and so on.
Holidays on the beach.
More than a third of the azure coast is occupied by beaches. On the azure coast you will find pebble beaches (in the strip from Antibes to Menton) and sandy beaches (west of Antibes). If you spend your vacation in a resort or city with mostly pebble beaches, it is a good idea to get special rubber slippers. Please note that there are agreements between the hotels and the owners of the adjoining beaches so that you can get a discount. The use of the beaches is included in the prices of hotels of higher categories. Thanks to the incredible popularity of the resorts of the azure coast, beaches do not know what the lack of tourists is.
Don’t walk around town wearing a bunny costume!
Tourists on holiday on the Cote d’Azur will now have to remember that the authorities of many local cities have banned appearing “in too skimpy clothes” in public places. The municipal administration in several resort towns on the Côte d’Azur imposed fines on walkers in public places such as streets and squares: men – shirtless, and women – topless. The fine is 40 euros. Moreover, these places are connected with others where nudity is officially allowed. And this causes a significant headache, especially among foreign tourists – especially in cities where – beaches unnoticeably pass into streets and squares and merge. Meanwhile, in Nice, Cannes, Saint Raphael, Menton and Monte Carlo, it has long been banned from entering the streets in bathing suits. In addition, the mayor of Montpellier, after increasing the fine from 12 to 40 euros in compensation, ordered the distribution of “tourist criminals” T-shirts with advertising slogans.
