My vacation in the French Riviera was the most memorable of all my holidays probably because it was my first self-guided tour. The French Riviera (Cote d’Azur, in French) is the southern coastline of France that stretches from Marseille in the west to Menton in the east, and includes the state of Monaco. The more well-known French Riviera towns are Cannes, Nice, Saint-Tropez, Eze and Monte Carlo.
The relatively mild winter and warm, sunny summer and the stunning coastline have made the region a magnet for aristocrats and celebrities since the 18th century. Singer Elton John, movie star Brad Pitt, legendary Formula One driver Michael Schumacher, Roman Abramovich (owner of Chelsea FC), Alex Ferguson (ex-manager of Manchester United), Paul Allen (co-founder of Microsoft) and the Saudi Arabian royal family are on the very long list of well-known people who own luxurious mansions and villas on the French Riviera.
