Riches of the Riviera

Now is the perfect time to look for a pied-à-terre on the French Riviera. Dylan Mitchell shows what’s on offer.

The Cote d’Azur, or French Riviera, includes Monaco and extends from the Italian border near Menton, westward past St Tropez as far as Toulon.

This area has been attracting people for thousands of years. It was where Julius Caesar’s Roman generals would retire. In the 18th century, it was the playground for Europe’s monarchy and elite.
