A must-do “Tour of the Côte d’Azur” and some eye-catching Riviera properties for sale

Before the pandemic, the Cote d’Azur was welcoming around 13 million visitors each year. The sunny climate, turquoise sea, dreamy luxury properties and international culture attract tourists and property buyers from all over the world – so much so that it now has the second busiest airport in France, after Paris.

If you’re on the French Rivera and only have time to do a whistlestop tour, these are some of the places you must see.

Nowhere like Nice

From the pink and yellow properties in the medieval old town, known as Vieux-Nice, to its Belle Epoque-influenced buildings and melting pot of cultures, Nice is one of the most popular and beautiful places to visit on the French Riviera.

There are so many things to do. You could wile away the hours on a walking tour of the stunning old town, or visit by Segway, wander along the Promenade des Anglais, taking in the sunshine and sea air, or spend a few hours in a cultural cocoon admiring the work of artist Marc Chagall.

Can’t beat Cannes

You can’t come to the Côte d’Azur without visiting Cannes. It doesn’t matter whether it’s your first time, or your hundredth there is always something new and exciting to see and experience here.

 

Try to make time for a boat trip across to the Iles de Lerins. There are restaurants, incredible sea views, beautiful trails to explore and offer wonderful swimming and snorkelling spots. La Croisette, of course, is always a must, but if you’re in Cannes it’s pretty hard not to end up here with its upmarket stores and high-end hotels. For dinner, head to the old quarter’s ultra-charming Le Suquet.

Demand for Cannes never dies down and it has a uniquely strong rental market because of the festivals and conferences that are held at the Palais des Festivals all year around. Home Hunts has homes for all budgets in its Cannes portfolio. This remarkable seven-bedroom villa, on the market for €21 million, is currently under construction (HH-13717563).

At the other end of the scale is this modern, rental ready three-bedroom apartment (HH-14291214), located on the Croisette near the Hotel Martinez, which is on the market for €1,940,000. The balcony views are quintessential Cannes with towering palm trees and the magnificent Mediterranean sea just a stone’s throw away.

Stunning St Tropez

Once a humble fishing village, now the jewel of the Côte d’Azur and the jetset, St Tropez never disappoints. There are a few places that everyone should wander while in St Tropez. The Port de St Tropez is the most glorious place for coffee and yacht watching. Market lovers should peruse the wares at Place des Lices, but for something fun and active how about sea kayaking on the Saint-Tropez peninsula, in the heart of the Cap Taillat nature reserve.
