French Riviera, a Luxury for Sight

Known as one of the trendiest holiday destinations, the French Riviera, in southwest France, has a lot more to be said about. It is a 180 km of coastline and one of the most beautiful coast paths in Europe, passing by the emblematic cities of Cannes, Nice and Monaco.

But, if looking for a quieter hideout, Esterel, between Cannes and Saint-Raphaël is the perfect place! Its 250 million years volcanic massif provides an amazing landscape of contrasts. A true geological wonder made of red rocks and turquoise creeks.

Cinque Terre, a Harsh Beauty

With its villages embedded along the Mediterranean coast, Cinque Terre, Italy, is an authentic movie set. Formed by the "Five Lands" of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, this part of the Italian Riviera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.

The depths of this enchanted world can only be reached by foot. And, since all roads lead to Cinque Terre, there are dozens of hiking trails that connect the small villages to each other. Venture through the 12km of Sentiero Azzurro — the Blue Path — and watch as the magnificent Vernazza arises between hills and valleys.
