Hotels in French Riviera, France

The French Riviera stretches along the Mediterranean coast from Menton to Saint-Tropez, famous for its glamorous beaches and the Cannes Film Festival. Summers bring hot weather (around 85°F/29°C) perfect for swimming in the clear Mediterranean or hiking the red rocks of the Esterel Massif, while mild winters (about 55°F/13°C) let you explore Nice's 19th-century Promenade des Anglais without crowds. Between Nice and Cannes, you'll find upscale yachting ports like Antibes, but head east to Menton for quieter lemon-scented gardens and cheaper seafood.
