Winter breaks on the Cote d’Azur
It’s a tradition – the British have been getting their winter sunshine fix on the Cote d’Azur since the 1820s. Clear blue skies and palm-lined promenades give a touch of the exotic, yet you don’t have to spend hours in a plane to get there - the French Riviera is an easy flight from many UK airports, and you even have the option of going by train from St Pancras.
There’s much more to the Cote d’Azur than lounging on a beach; dozens of artists were inspired by the exceptional light and colours of the region and you will be spoilt for choice with art galleries and exhibitions.
Of course France is famous for its gastronomic delights, and restaurants are less crowded than in the summer months – if you thought you would be waiting until 2011 to dine al fresco, think again – today it’s 22°c and sunny on the Cote d’Azur…..
The public transport system along the coast is excellent – several of our clients this year have expressed their delight at the value for money and service on the trains and buses in the region, from St Raphael right across to Monaco and Ventimiglia in Italy. The Victorians may have missed out on the chance of touring Nice in an open top bus to take in all the sights, but there is nothing stopping you… To really blow away some cobwebs and get the sea breeze in your hair, why not borrow a ‘Vèlo Bleu’ from one of the collection points around Nice and explore by bike!
Give your spirits a lift and bring a bit of sparkle into the gloomy winter days with a break in the south of France.
