Tourism in French Riviera - Travel Guide
Tourism in French Riviera - Travel Guide
Monaco, Cannes, Nice, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Saint-Tropez and Marseille
The French Riviera (known in French as the Côte d'Azur) is the Mediterranean coastline of the southeast corner of France. There is no official boundary, but it is usually considered to extend from Cassis or Toulon on the west to the France–Italy border in the east, where the Italian Riviera joins. The coast is entirely within the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA) region of France. The principality of Monaco is a semi-enclave within the region, surrounded on three sides by France and fronting the Mediterranean.
This coastline was one of the first modern resort areas. It began as a winter health resort for the British upper class at the end of the 18th century. With the arrival of the railway in the mid-19th century, it became the playground and vacation spot of British, Russian, and other aristocrats, such as Queen Victoria and King Edward VII, when he was Prince of Wales. In the summer, it also played home to many members of the Rothschild family. In the first half of the 20th century, it was frequented by artists and writers, including Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Edith Wharton, Somerset Maugham, and Aldous Huxley, as well as wealthy Americans and Europeans. After World War II, it became a popular tourist destination and convention site. Many celebrities, such as Elton John and Brigitte Bardot, have homes in the region. Officially, the French Riviera is home to 163 nationalities with 83,962 foreign residents, although estimates of the number of non-French nationals living in the area are often much higher.
Its largest city is Nice, which has a population of 347,060 (2006). The city is the center of a communauté urbaine – Nice-Côte d'Azur – bringing together 24 communes and more than 500,000 inhabitants and 933,080 in the urban area. Nice is home to Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, France's third-busiest airport (after Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport and Paris-Orly), which is on an area of partially reclaimed coastal land at the western end of the Promenade des Anglais. A second airport at Mandelieu was once the region's commercial airport, but is now mainly used by private and business aircraft. The A8 autoroute runs through the region, as does the old main road generally known as the Route nationale 7 (officially now the DN7 in the Var and the D6007 in the Alpes-Maritimes). High-speed trains serve the coastal region and inland to Grasse, with the TGV Sud-Est service reaching Nice-Ville station in five and a half hours from Paris.
The French Riviera has a total population of more than two million. It 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. It is also home to a high-tech and science park (French: technopole) at Sophia-Antipolis (north of Antibes), and a research and technology center at the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis. The region has 35,000 students, of whom 25 percent are working toward a doctorate.
The French Riviera is a major yachting and cruising area with several marinas along its coast. According to the Côte d'Azur Economic Development Agency, each year the Riviera hosts 50 percent of the world's superyacht fleet, with 90 percent of all superyachts visiting the region's coast at least once in their lifetime. As a tourist centre, French Riviera benefits from 310 to 330 days of sunshine per year, 115 kilometres (71 miles) of coastline and beaches, 18 golf courses, 14 ski resorts and 3,000 restaurants.
Some data related to tourism on the Riviera in 2006:
More than 14 million tourists
52% of customers from abroad
65 million nights stayed
Tourists spending €5 billion
75,000 jobs; tourism is 18% of total employment in the Alpes-Maritimes.
500,000 tourists in the High Country
500,000 delegates
3 million admissions to museums and monuments
More than 45% of tourists come by air

A flight around the River Mountain House in Nohèdes, Pyrénees-Orièntales, France
The River Mountain House is a comfortable holiday home at 1.001 meters altitude in the French Pyrenees mountains at approx 1 hours drive from the Mediterranean Sea and a bit over 2 hours drive from Barcelona, Spain.
The house is surrounded by two riverstreams and located in the middle of the 'Parc Naturel Régional des Pyrénées Catalanes'.
The house is a perfect location for hiking, mountainbiking or just plain relaxing with the sound of the rivers in the background. For children the house and the immediate surrounding are an adventure ready to be explored, with riverstreams to make dams, a natural swimming-pool in the river right behind the house, natural waterslides in the rivers at 80 meters walk, hikes to the 3 lakes above the house, visits to the caves, canyoning, taking a trainride on 'le petit train jaune' 'the little yellow train' or just for a visit to the beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean Sea. There is always plenty to do and explore!
The house accomodates a maximum of 8 (or 9) guests with 4 bedrooms, or can even be used as a main house accomodating 4 guest and a separate appartment accomodating 2 guests.
When used separately both houses will have their own entrance from the road and their own gardens, ensuring a reasonable level of privacy.
