Cannes plays host to numerous festivals throughout the year, but is world famous for its film festival held in May, right before the Monaco Grand Prix.
The palm lined Boulevard de la Croisette is home to plenty of designer boutiques, luxury hotels and spas. This glitzy resort town also brags fabulous beaches, high-end restaurants and clubs making it a thriving summer charter destination not to be missed!
Saint Tropez is a small village with a big reputation. Made famous by Brigitte Bardot in the 1950's, this sleepy little town was transformed into a chic, hedonist celebrity spot each summer.
It is still as chic as ever, a luxury location with extraordinary villas, boutique hotels, designer shops and luxury yachts lining the quaint old town. Not forgetting its beautiful beaches, such as Pampelonne, where you can experience the best clubs and restaurants all summer long.
The wonderful Iles d'Or, made up of the island of Porquerolles, Levant and Port Cros, lie off the coast of Hyères, and are true gems of the Mediterranean.
These protected islands have been given National Park status. These sparsely populated islands are perfect for cycling around, or hiking, or for something a little less strenuous, they are surrounded by sandy beaches and coves with turquoise waters which are ideal for swimming, snorkeling or SCUBA diving.
Antibes is a lively resort town lying between Nice and Cannes, and is known for its roaring social scene and its 16th century walled old town which overlooks Port Vauban, with its mix of sailing and luxury yachts.
A museum honouring one of the most popular concoctions in France - Absinthe - can be found here along with the more classic Picasso Museum, in the former Château Grimaldi.
Here in Antibes you'll find long stretches of flat, white sandy beaches lapped by gentle turquoise waters, or for somewhere a little more serence, anchor your yacht in the Baie des Milliardaires - with its rocky coastline, it is the perfect spot to snorkel in the crystal clear waters.
Villefranche-sur-Mer is situated right at the heart of the Cote D'Azur.
This picturesquely romantic seaside town lies between Nice and Monaco, and is well known for its deep, natural bay allowing cruise ships to anchor here, hiding from strong easterly winds, along with small sailing yachts and super yachts alike.
The quaint old town has plenty of lively waterfront bars and restaurants, and if you're feeling energetic, take a bike ride to the Fort Du Mont Alban for an excellent view over the Mediterranean.
The breathtaking peninsula of St Jean-Cap-Ferrat is nestled between the renowned towns of Beaulieu-sur-Mer and Villefranche-sur-Mer. Well known for its luxury villas and hotels, it has been a favourite destination for Hollywood celebrities and the yachting elite for decades.
All five beaches are public and offer amazing panoramic views. For some culture, don't miss the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, an Italian Renaissance palace on 10 hectares of landscaped gardens, which is now a museum and luxury event location open to visitors.
This beautiful peninsula lying just east of Monaco, is the perfect spot off which to anchor and snorkel the crystal clear waters, or enjoy some jestkiing. The medieval village of Roquebrune itself is perched higher up, with amazing views over Monaco and the peninsula.
The Promenade Le Corbusier, the coastal path, is a beautiful spot to take a walk along the water - all the way to Monaco if you are feeling energetic.
