Provence-Alps-Côte d'Azur

The region in the south of France includes the beach resorts of the Côte d'Azur and the scenic countryside of Provence. The Côte d'Azur may have lost some of its sparkle, however the legend of resort cities such as Monte Carlo, St Tropez and Cannes lives on. The coast from Marseille to the Italian border now harbours a wide variety of attractions from the exclusive yachts of the jet-set to quaint towns and secluded beaches. Be careful though, its major towns and cities are some of the most expensive towns in France.
