Few coastlines compete with the Côte d'Azur for sheer holiday glamour. Between Cannes, Nice, Antibes and the Italian border, you'll find everything from luxury seafront resorts to laid-back family campsites tucked into pine forests. Expect warm seas from June to October and a calendar packed with festivals, markets and yacht-watching.
Pebble coves in Nice, golden sand in Antibes and Pampelonne.
Monaco, Èze and the perched village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence.
Mild weather from April to late October — great shoulder-season camping.
