Europe's Most
Glamorous Coastline
The Côte d'Azur — the Azure Coast — has been the playground of artists, aristocrats and the ultra-wealthy since the 19th century. From the belle époque grandeur of Nice to the micro-principality of Monaco, from the hilltop villages of the Provençal hinterland to the sun-bleached harbours of Antibes and Saint-Tropez, it is a destination that embodies European luxury at its most seductive.
The Luxe Trails opens the doors of the Côte d'Azur's most exclusive villas, private yacht charters and members-only institutions that define the true Riviera lifestyle.
