Sailing French Riviera Style: Glam on a BUDGET?
Are you considering sailing along the French Riviera and seeing all that it has to offer? Want to know if it lives up to its glamorous rumours? Don’t know where to start? Perfect! You can start right here; sailing French Riviera style!
The French Riviera
The French Riviera is geographically located at the South of France and is also known as Cote d’Azur. Ever heard of Cannes, Nice, or Saint Tropez ? Whether you have or have not, these world renowned cities are all perfectly situated along the French Riviera. Each city upholds elegance, class, and numerous beautiful beaches. “But it sounds like the swimming pool of the elite!” Though attractive to aristocrats, high earners and celebrities, the French Riviera is accessible even on a budget, much like most places!
Things to do
There are a series of things that you could do without having to empty your pockets!
La Colline de Chateau (Castle Hill, Nice)
- La Colline de Chateau is an awesome attraction located in Nice. Yes, it’s a castle on a hill, a very big hill! It offers some amazing panoramic views of the French Riviera. You’d be able to confirm that the internet pictures are actually real, but make sure you take a picture; it’ll last longer! And oh yes, wear comfy shoes, unless of course you’re trying to fit in with the glamorous!
Grasse (Nice)
- Grasse is a medieval village which prides itself in being the world renowned perfumery capital. A few famous perfumeries like Fragonard give free (magic word) tours of their factories. Even if you don’t want the tour, the sight alone would certainly be breathtaking!
Menton
- One of the most underrated villages in existence, Menton. This village has 6 mainly empty beaches. This makes it a perfect place to go if you want to avoid tourists and just relax. Oftentimes celebrities that simply couldn’t lounge on everyday beaches find their way to Menton. This is one of the very few places that have up to 300 days of summer, thus you could never go wrong! Also, every February, to celebrate Spring, they have a citrus festival, making all sorts of statues made of citrus fruits! When life gives you lemons, make statues!
