French Riviera - Region Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur
The French Riviera (known in French as the Côte d'Azur; Occitan: Còsta
d'Azur literal translation "Azure Coast") is the Mediterranean coastline
of the southeast corner of France. There is no official boundary, but it
is usually considered to extend from Toulon, Le Lavandou or Saint-Tropez
in the west to Menton at the France–Italy border in the east. The coast is
entirely within the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The
Principality of Monaco is a semi-enclave within the region, surrounded on
three sides by France and fronting the Mediterranean.
The French Riviera contains the seaside resorts of Cap-d'Ail,
Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Antibes,
Juan-les-Pins, Cannes, Saint-Raphaël, Fréjus, Sainte-Maxime and
Saint-Tropez.
