The Côte d'Azur

It's no wonder that it's called the Côte d'Azur, the Azure Coast, the color of the water in the morning sunlight can take your breath away and create a longing for this place, and you start to dream of your return before you leave.  It quiets the soul and fills your heart up to the top. 

So many lovely places to visit along the Côte d'Azur:  Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Monaco, Cannes, Menton, Eze, St Paul de Vence, Juan les Pins, Antibes, St Jean-Cap Ferrat, Mougins, all with breathtaking views of this azure sea.
