French Riviera

The French Riviera (known in French as the Cote d’Azur) has no official boundary but generally stretches from Toulon in the West to Menton at the French - Italian border in the East.

The coast is entirely within the Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur (PACA) region of France. Monaco is a semi-enclave within the region.

It benefits from over 310 days of sunshine a year.
