The French Riviera, an ideal destination for family holidays, combines legendary beaches, picturesque villages and glamorous stops. Between Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Ramatuelle and the unspoilt coves of Cassis, experience the Mediterranean art of living at its best in a setting where comfort, culture and well-being intermingle. A stay on the French Riviera promises relaxation, a variety of activities and unforgettable experiences in the south of France.
With its mild Mediterranean climate and 300 days of sunshine a year, the French Riviera is an ideal destination for family holidays. The turquoise sea and the landscapes of the hinterland are beautifully bathed in the unique light. Here, a stay on the coast means diverse beaches, wild coves and an atmosphere where luxury, culture and authenticity meet.
Saint-Tropez charms visitors with its lively little harbour, luxury boutiques and iconic beaches. In Ramatuelle, Pampelonne Beach is ideal for a Mediterranean holiday, with private beach clubs, paddleboarding and sailing. These coastal towns perfectly blend glamour and family atmosphere in the south of France.
In Cannes, the famous Promenade la Croisette, the Palais des Festivals and its fine-sand beaches are a delight for children, while the centre of the seaside resort of Antibes charms visitors with its ramparts and historic monuments. The Lérins Islands complete the experience offering a nature getaway in an archipelago that abounds with preserved flora and fauna.
In Cassis, the rocky inlets and small fishing port invite visitors to explore and have fun with water sports. La Croix-Valmer is more unspoilt and attracts visitors with its unspoilt beaches, ideal for family holidays away from the crowds.
In the hinterland, Gassin, Saint-Paul-de-Vence and Mougins embody Provençal authenticity. These picturesque villages, serenaded in the cicadas' song, offer a mix of artistic discoveries, gastronomy and breathtaking views of the French Riviera, making them the perfect summer destination.
A holiday in the Mediterranean is synonymous with water sports: swimming, sailing, kayaking and diving in crystal-clear waters. Nature lovers will enjoy hikes in the calanques or hikes in the Estérel Massif. Nature parks and marine reserves also offer plenty to discover and enjoy for children and parents alike.
The French Riviera is not just about beaches - it is also home to historical monuments, museums and art foundations such as the Fondation Maeght and the Musée de Grasse. Provençal markets invite visitors to discover local crafts and culinary specialities, while festivals and summer events animate the season.
No visit to the coast would be complete without sampling Provençal cuisine like ratatouille, pissaladière, and tarte tropézienne. Michelin-starred restaurants such as Mirazur in Menton, La Villa Madie in Cassis offer exceptional dining experiences in every town. For a more comprehensive guide, discover the best gastronomic restaurants on the French Riviera to plan your culinary journey.
