Winter on the Côte d’Azur

 

When we think of the French Riviera, we imagine sunny beaches, crowds of tourists and days of swimming in the Mediterranean Sea.

However, in winter, the Côte d’Azur offers an experience of soothing tranquility. The landscapes change, the leaves of the trees turn tinted, the sky is adorned with new colors at sunrise and sunset, it is an ideal time to admire the beauty of nature.

This season brings a calm and relaxing atmosphere, far away from the summer hustle and bustle. You can enjoy the old town at your own pace, wander the quaint alleys, and visit historic sites, such as the Roman amphitheater and St. Leontius Cathedral, hassle-free.

The beaches are now peaceful, giving way to lovely walks by the sea. The mountains of the hinterland offer breathtaking panoramas. Walkers can rejoice in the mildness of the Mediterranean winter.
