Insider's Guide to the French Riviera

The South of France tends to conjure visions of postcard-perfect coastlines, dazzling luxury resorts, and a polished sense of style that marries old-world glamour with Mediterranean ease. That reputation largely derives from the French Riviera, or Côte d’Azur, the iconic span of coastline that stretches from Toulon to Menton, including the country of Monaco. 

Against a backdrop of abundant sunlight and impossibly blue water, life in the region follows a gentle rhythm that’s largely dictated by the pursuit of pleasure—a quality that’s drawn for well over a century, artists, royals, and celebrities for well over a century.  Mornings belong to the markets and the sea, afternoons organize themselves around rosé and shared plates, and evenings bring late dinners that easily segue into casino visits and rooftop cocktails.
