The Cote d’Azur is lovely with its legendary coastal panoramas, palm-lined promenades and timeless elegance. Immerse yourself in the incomparable laissez-faire atmosphere between azure-blue bays and pretty old towns.


Highlights


• A short cruise to fall in love with the hotspots of the Cote d’Azur

• Explore Monte Carlo, Sanary-sur-Mer and St-Tropez into the night

• Out and about at one of France’s most beautiful markets in Sanary-sur-Mer

• A fragrant experience: the Fragonard perfume house in Grasse*

• Discover the charm of St-Tropez on a city walk and a game of boules*

Enjoy the flair long after sunset, because your ship will stay overnight here.

Sanary-sur-Mer on the French Riviera is like something out of a postcard: a small fishing harbour with colourful facades, tradition boats – known as pointus – and a promenade where the town’s vibrant life takes place. Stroll through the narrow lanes and across the charming squares of the old town. Boutiques, cafes and a lively weekly market, one of the most beautiful in Provence, also attract visitors. The Notre Dame de Pitie chapel stands high above the town, offering a scenic panorama of the coast and the vast blue sea.

St-Tropez, with its picturesque streets, colourful houses and luxurious Cote d’Azur lifestyle, has a captivating charm of its own. The town, once a tranquil fishing village, was made famous in the 1960s by Brigitte Bardot and the international jet set. Artists like Paul Signac and Henri Matisse found inspiration here at the end of the 19th century. And today you can admire their work in the Musee de l’Annonciade. The port, the early 17th-century citadel and the Place des Lices can be discovered on a charming walk around the old town. Your ship will stay overnight so that you can enjoy the impressions well into the evening.

Elegant Cannes on the Cote d’Azur exudes sophisticated flair. Luxury hotels and designer boutiques grace the famous Promenade de la Croisette, lined with palm trees, while the azure-blue sea glitters on the fine sandy beach. In the old town of Le Suquet, you will find narrow streets, charming squares and magnificent views over the bay. The harbour with its yachts shows the glamorous side of the city, which shines not only during the film festival. Life along the promenade continues into the evening hours, when cafes, bars and restaurants keep their doors wide open. Immerse yourself in the colourful hustle and bustle and enjoy the savoir-vivre of the moment.
