Travel deals Côte d'Azur - Belle Epoque and fine sand beaches!
The Côte d'Azur, the "azure blue coast", is one of the most charming regions on the French Mediterranean coast. It is characterised by Belle Epoque-style structures and has drawn visitors in the summer months since the 1920s. Many rich and famous people have a great regard for the exclusive area, with its beguiling blue sea and long sand beaches. Especially popular are the sophisticated towns Nice, Cannes and Saint Tropez. Whether shopping, dining elegantly or spending the day on the beach, the sweet life can be fully and completely enjoyed here. Not only the coast, but also the hilly hinterland, with its small mountain villages and cosy restaurants invite a holiday experience typical to southern France. Côte d'Azur - Belle Epoque and fine sand beaches!The small town of Saint Tropez is especially chic, glamorous and one of the most elegant holiday resorts on the Côte d'Azur. "See and be seen" is the motto here. Saint Tropez can still win visitors over away from the chic boutiques and expensive yachts. In the Vieille Ville (old town), there is a rather village-like atmosphere, where cosy little markets and bistros invite one to linger. In the narrow alleyways, embraced by pastel coloured houses, posh boutiques encourage one to shop. Those looking for fun on the beach in Saint Tropez should visit the beaches on the Baie de Pamplonne. In the hinterland, the peninsula preserves its Provençal charm with beautiful fields of wildflowers and excellent vinyards. Both belong to the trendiest spots in the region and offer a breathtaking view of the bay of Saint Tropez and the Iles d'Hyères. With its proximity to Saint Tropez, one boutique follows the other in the mediaeval village Gassin. Look-outs were established here during the time of the Saracen attacts.
