A Coastal Escapade Along the French Riviera Embarking on a journey to the French Riviera is like stepping into a glamorous dreamscape where azure waters meet the golden glow of the Mediterranean sun. This coastal stretch, also known as the Côte d'Azur, unfolds a world of sophistication, natural beauty, and vibrant culture that captivates the senses.Our adventure commenced in the renowned city of Nice, where the Promenade des Anglais welcomed us with its palm-lined boulevard overlooking the dazzling Mediterranean Sea. The Old Town, or Vieux Nice, beckoned with its narrow cobblestone streets, vibrant markets, and the bustling Cours Saleya, where fragrant flowers and fresh produce filled the air. We climbed to the Castle Hill for panoramic views, revealing the charming tapestry of terracotta rooftops and the sparkling coastline.Journeying westward, we arrived in glamorous Cannes, synonymous with the world-famous film festival. The iconic Boulevard de la Croisette, lined with luxurious boutiques and upscale cafes, provided an ideal setting for leisurely strolls. We couldn't resist visiting the Palais des Festivals, where the film industry's elite gather annually to celebrate cinematic excellence.Next on our itinerary was Saint-Tropez, a charming fishing village turned jet-set destination. The Vieux Port, adorned with luxurious yachts, reflected the town's glamorous allure. We explored the vibrant open-air market, Place des Lices, and relaxed on the sun-drenched beaches like Pampelonne, basking in the Riviera's timeless elegance.Venturing inland, we discovered the medieval town of Eze, perched high on a cliff with commanding views of the Mediterranean. The Jardin Exotique showcased a stunning array of succulents and provided a serene escape from the bustling coastline. The charming cobblestone streets of the village were adorned with artisanal shops and quaint cafés, adding to the town's enchanting charm.Our journey continued to the Principality of Monaco, a tiny sovereign city-state renowned for its opulence and grandeur. The Casino de Monte-Carlo, surrounded by manicured gardens, epitomized the sophistication of this glamorous enclave. We explored the narrow streets of Monaco-Ville, where the Prince's Palace and the Cathedral of Saint Nicholas stood as testaments to the principality's rich history.The French Riviera's natural wonders unfolded as we ventured to the Calanques National Park, near Marseille. Turquoise waters framed by limestone cliffs created a picturesque setting for hiking and exploration. The coastal trails led us to hidden coves and pristine beaches, offering a tranquil contrast to the vibrant cities along the Riviera.As our journey along the French Riviera came to a close, we reveled in the memories of sun-kissed beaches, glamorous cities, and charming villages. The Côte d'Azur, with its unique blend of elegance, natural beauty, and cultural richness, left an indelible mark, beckoning us to return and savor the splendors of this coastal paradise once more.

Wes met us for an initial phone call after business hours, planned our trip exactly the way we wanted, and was there for us when the resort was trying to mess with our trip! I have another trip coming up and will be using him again. I would recommend him to anyone who is new to traveling, or travel agents.
