Discover the destination Côte d'Azur

The Hidden Treasures of the French Riviera… and a Touch of Italy!

Where the Alps meet the sea, the Côte d'Azur - centred around Nice - enchants with its captivating light, vibrant colours, and Mediterranean climate. Since the 19th century, Nice, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has drawn royalty, artists and travellers, in search of sunshine, culture and beauty.

Today, it also reveals its little-known vineyards of the Bellet, on the hills between Nice and Cannes, alongside the preserved charm of Dolceacqua, an Italian jewel just across the border. We offer you an invitation to explore these exceptional vineyards, where every visit tells a story.
