Beaches of Cote d'Azur
On the west of Nice (Cannes, Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, Saint-Tropez) there are sandy beaches, in the same Nice and further towards Italy they are pebble. In Monaco - loose sandy beaches. Unlike the Atlantic coast, the beaches on the Cote d'Azur are not wide: a maximum of 30-40 meters.
All beaches are municipal, however they can be rented by hotels or simply by rich people. Then the entrance to the beach becomes paid (about 20 EUR per day). This price includes the use of a sunbed, umbrella, mattress and shower. However, 4 * hotels generally provide their guests with a 50% discount on the use of a paid beach.
On the nearby free beaches there is no equipment, but, as a rule, more people.
Cote d'Azur hotels - $
The Cote d'Azur is clearly not a place for thrifty tourists, so all hotels here are quite high-level and "stellar". Almost everyone can boast air-conditioning in the rooms, however, with swimming pools is more difficult - even not every "four" has such luxury.
Entertainment, sightseeing and sightseeing
The Cote d'Azur is rich in sights. Distances between the resort towns are small (from Nice to Cannes - 30 km, to Monaco - 10 km), and living in one city, you can see the rest.
Interesting are the castle town of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, the medieval town of Eze, Beaulieu-sur-Mer near Nice, the pine groves in the environs of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. You can also go on a one-day excursion to the "Marinland" (water slides, "sea waves", walks along the seabed among sharks, a show with dolphins and killer whales, a sea museum, an aquarium).
The town-fortress, located on a rocky promontory between two valleys, in which behind the walls of medieval facades are the workshops of artists and sculptors .Almost in every house there is a souvenir shop, and on every house there are flowers .Hotel «Golden Dove», in which many famous people stayed, thanks to the paintings of famous artists became a real museum .Next to it - Museum of Musical Instruments of 1750 .On the outskirts of the city is the Maekhta Foundation - a magnificent synthesis of works of art and exhibition space .The complex is surrounded by a pine grove, which houses moving sculptures .The outdoor pools of the complex are decorated with a mosaic of Chagall (he is buried in the local cemetery) and Marriage, and the Labyrinth in it is sculpted and ceramics of Miro .
